The best management option left is the four-year rotation. Discovery of different clubroot pathotypes in central Alberta will change the rotation plans for some growers. No current varieties have strong resistance to these pathotypes. If growers have used resistant canola two or three times already on fields that were infested with clubroot, these fields are at high risk for having…

Phosphorus fertilizer rates have, pretty generally, lagged crop removal for some time. As crops remove the soluble phosphorus in the soil, the soil’s large reserve of less soluble forms will transfer some more phosphorus into the available “labile” pool. However, this labile pool may be losing its ability to keep up, resulting in a “hidden hunger” for phosphate in many…

Canola has a high demand for sulphur. Because of high sulphur variability across most fields, the common recommendation is to apply 10-15 lb./ac. of sulphur when soil test results show adequate levels and 20-25 lb./ac., or more, when tests show deficient levels. Read more for product options and when to use them…
