Prograin Expands To Western Canada

 
The largest private added-value soybean company in the country has made the move to western Canada.
 
Prograin, a family owned company, has been in the market for 35 years in Quebec.
 
Alexandre Beaudoin is the sales and marketing manager for seed in Canada.
 
He explained the advantage of being solely focused on soybeans.
 
"A lot of companies have corn, soybeans, and other products. Being strictly soybeans, we can concentrate and be more efficient and be more competitive in the soybean market."

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.
