Virulent blackleg of canola/rapeseed is a fungal canker or dry rot disease of the actively growing crop that causes stem girdling and lodging. In heavily infested crops, up to 100 per cent of the stems may be infected, resulting in major yield loss. Two types of blackleg fungus infect canola - weakly virulent and virulent. The weakly virulent, or mild type, has always been common in canola fields. The disease appears on leaves and stems in August but does not usually cause significant damage.

Description

Wild animals invade crops to fulfill needs such as food and protective cover. Converting a field from conventional tillage to direct seeding changes the habitat characteristics of the field. In particular, a direct seeded field has much less mechanical disturbance of the soil and usually provides plant cover - a growing crop or crop residue - all year. Although limited research has been done on this topic, these changes will likely affect the level of some types of wildlife damage.
