The search is on for the next president and CEO of the Canola Council of Canada.

Jim Everson announced his plans to leave the organization earlier this month, agreeing to stay in the role until a replacement is found.

Board chair Jennifer Marchand says Jim played a key role in reforming the Canola Council's financial governance, opening new market pathways and
leading the value chain through challenging market access issues.

Everson was named president of the CCC in April of 2017,  having previously served in the role of vice president and government relations from 2008 to 2015.

Video: LALEXPERT: Sclerotinia cycle and prophylactic methods

White rot, also known as sclerotinia, is a common agricultural fungal disease caused by various virulent species of Sclerotinia. It initially affects the root system (mycelium) before spreading to the aerial parts through the dissemination of spores.

Sclerotinia is undoubtedly a disease of major economic importance, and very damaging in the event of a heavy attack.

All these attacks come from the primary inoculum stored in the soil: sclerotia. These forms of resistance can survive in the soil for over 10 years, maintaining constant contamination of susceptible host crops, causing symptoms on the crop and replenishing the soil inoculum with new sclerotia.
