🌾 3 strategies to minimise blackleg of canola

For minimising blackleg of canola, there really are three strategies. There's genetic resistance, fungicides and cultural practices. The Afrin Frye principles are avoid susceptible crop varieties. And that's extremely important for blackleg. If you grow a resistant variety, you're going to have a lot less issues with blackleg. You want to rotate your crops to reduce your disease carryover. Avoiding last year's stubble is a primary way of controlling blackleg disease. Non chemical control methods to reduce disease pressure. Again minimizing the impact of the stubble. And only spray when it's necessary. And then if you are spraying, make sure you're rotating and mixing fungicide groups so that you're reducing the impact and potential risk of fungicide resistance.
