Saskatchewan has ‘hot spots’ for sclerotinia

The Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture has released its map outlining areas where sclerotinia was detected.

A total of 205 canola fields were surveyed in the major canola production regions of Saskatchewan last year.

The survey covered 29 fields in the northwest, 32 fields in the northeast, west-central region surveyed 28 fields, east-central has 52 fields checked, southwest had 27 fields and there were 37 fields in the southeast.

Due to the random and permission-based nature of field selection, not every rural municipality (RM) was surveyed in each region, while multiple fields were surveyed in some RMs.
