Strategic Realignment To "Better Serve" The Barley Industry

Chair Zenneth Faye says the move comes after a months-long comprehensive review of the roles and responsibilities of its partners in the value chain.
 
"The Barley Council of Canada has been in existence now for about five years and the Board felt that it was time to do a review of what our deliverables have been and where we're short falling," he explained. "So we put together a wish list of some places where we need to try and make better and efficient use of our resources internally, but also to efficiently use the dollars that our members pay towards the organization."
 
The move includes Cereals Canada, the Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre (CMBTC), and the Brewing and Malting Barley Research Institute (BMBRI).

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.
