Faba Bean Feed Benchmark

 
Corn, feed wheat and barley prices were all up $10-15 across the Prairies driven by higher cash corn values and concerns over lack of planting progress both in Canada and the US for the upcoming crops.
 
Corn DDGS followed the main commodities, increasing by $10-20 in all provinces. A late report out of Argentina detailing a drop in that country’s soybean harvest coupled with slow planting progress in the US caused meal prices to surge by $20-25/T across the west.
 
Canola meal values meanwhile held steady over the past two weeks. Feed peas traded in the 255-260 range in Saskatchewan, 265 in Alberta, and 265-270 in Manitoba.

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.
