CARP 2006-02
Final Report:
March 2009
Summary:
Blackleg continues to be found throughout the canola growing area and new strains of Leptosphaeria maculans have been observed in western Canada. This study provides significant knowledge of avirulence allele variation of the pathogen population of L. maculans in western Canada and therefore some of the information needed to develop effective, durable blackleg resistance management strategies.
