Flea Beetle and Drought Resistance in Canola

Researcher:

Dr. Margaret Gruber, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Saskatoon

Project Code:

CARP-2005-01

Final Report:

March 2008

Summary:

Technologies have been developed to control the extensive feeding that occurs in Canola (Brassica napus) due to the crucifer flea beetle. Plant breeders and entomologists have developed ‘HAIRY CANOLA’ lines that have the potential, after further advancement, to significantly reduce crop input costs and provide consistent protection without the need for pesticide application and exposure.
