Canada’s federal government should find a different way of managing climate change rather than taxing its citizens, a federal Conservative candidate said.

A plan that promotes adaptability to climate change is better, said Megz Reynolds. She is seeking the Conservative Party’s nomination in the riding of Cypress Hills – Grasslands for this year’s federal election.

In the second part of a two-part interview with Farms.com, Reynolds discusses how a federal government should approach climate change, as well as some of the pressing issues facing the Canadian ag industry.

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.
