Harvest fundraiser for new school project was a success

he Carlyle Community Complex Foundation has been very busy holding fundraisers for the new school in the town.

They have been fundraising since August 2022 and in the spring of 2023, they received word from the provincial government that Carlyle would receive a new school for pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12 students. It will include a daycare.

This sent the small community into a celebration as they had been waiting for this news for 10 years.

Foundation committee chairwoman Tammie Riddell said they needed to have something bigger for a fundraiser, as selling hotdogs and doing vendor stands would take a long time to raise the money needed for the project.

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.
