Canola Council Of Canada Sets Priorities For The Future

The Canola Council of Canada (CCC) is setting its targets for the future.
 
Looking ahead to the year 2025, the three main priorities for the CCC are sustainable and reliable supply, differentiated value, and stable and open trade.
 
Brian Innes is the vice president of government relations.
 
"The first [goal] is around sustainable supply," he said. "That involves getting our canola yields up to 52 bushels average per acre across western Canada by 2025. We're going to do that by increasing profitability, increasing sustainability, and also making sure that we reduce production risk for growers in the process."
 
Innes says a sustainable supply can be made possible by getting research that's on the bench, out into the field.

Video: LALEXPERT: Sclerotinia cycle and prophylactic methods

White rot, also known as sclerotinia, is a common agricultural fungal disease caused by various virulent species of Sclerotinia. It initially affects the root system (mycelium) before spreading to the aerial parts through the dissemination of spores.

Sclerotinia is undoubtedly a disease of major economic importance, and very damaging in the event of a heavy attack.

All these attacks come from the primary inoculum stored in the soil: sclerotia. These forms of resistance can survive in the soil for over 10 years, maintaining constant contamination of susceptible host crops, causing symptoms on the crop and replenishing the soil inoculum with new sclerotia.
