Agriculture Roundup for Wednesday September 11, 2019
A new type of a soil-borne invasive disease that can kill canola plants has been found in Manitoba for the first time.
The province says clubroot pathotype 3-A has been discovered in the Rural Municipality of Pembina.
It has been shown to overcome resistance that some types of canola have to the disease.
The Canola Council of Canada (CCC) said this finding should prompt the industry to take clubroot seriously.
