Summary: GRDC has released a new guide which allows farmers to assess the risk of contracting the fungal disease, Blackleg, in their canola crops. Blackleg infection can cause up to 90 percent yield loss in canola and juncea-canola crops. The guide takes growers through a simple three step assessment process as described on Driving Agronomy by Steve Marcroft. Contact: Steve Marcroft (03) 5381 2294
