Video: Understanding the Blackleg & Verticillium Connection Webinar

This webinar will explore the emerging connection between blackleg and verticillium stripe in canola, two diseases increasingly shaping yield risk across the Prairies. Presented by Ian Epp of Sask Oilseeds, the session will unpack current research and field observations that highlight how blackleg infection may influence the development and severity of verticillium stripe later in the season.

You will gain insight into disease biology, environmental drivers, and the role of variety selection, rotation, and management decisions in reducing overall disease pressure. The webinar will also connect the dots between early-season disease management and long-term risk, helping growers and agronomists better anticipate challenges and adapt strategies for more resilient canola production.
