Soybeans Popular Choice For Foodgrains Bank Projects

 
Manitoba Rep Harold Penner expects to see about 40 grow projects in the province this year, most of which have already been seeded.
 
He says many of the fields will share a common crop.
 
"It's amazing how many acres of soybeans we have. Soybeans are making up at least a third of the total acreage this year and then there's wheat and canola and then a variety of other smaller acreage crops."

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.
