Seneviratne, Ruwani Wickramasooriya
The nutritional value of biodiesel co-products were studied for swine. In Exp. 1, expeller-pressed canola meal was nutritionally characterized and validated for grower-finisher pigs. Expeller-pressed canola meal provided adequate energy and AA; ADG was reduced 3 g/d per 1% expeller-pressed canola...

Pathotypes of Plasmodiophora brassicae from clubroot resistant canola and assessment of amisulbrom for clubroot control
DownloadSpring 2021
Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin, is an important soilborne disease of canola (oilseed rape; Brassica napus L.). In Canada, clubroot management relies heavily on the planting of resistant cultivars, but since 2013, resistance has been broken in an increasing number of fields....

Fall 2020
Canola (Brassica napus L.) is an amphidiploid or allotetraploid (AACC, 2n = 4x = 38) crop plant and it is one of the most important oilseed crops in the world. The narrow genetic base of this crop, especially in its C genome, is not only a major impediment for its continued improvement but also...

Progress towards the sustainable risk management of clubroot (Plasmodiophora brassicae) of canola on the Canadian prairies
Download2011-01-01
Strelkov, Stephen E., Hwang, Sheau-Fang, Howard, Ronald J., Hartman, Murray, Turkington, T. Kelly
Clubroot, caused by the obligate parasite Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin, has recently emerged as an important disease of canola (Brassica napus) in central Alberta. Disease development is characterized by the formation of large galls on the roots of affected plants, which hinder water and...

Quantifying the nitrogen benefits of cool season pulse crops to an Alberta prairie cropping system
DownloadFall 2011
Diverse crop rotations are an important part of sustainable agricultural systems. More information is needed in Alberta on the effects of adding pulse crops to current rotations. This experiment investigated the effects of ‘Snowbird’ tannin-free faba bean (Vicia faba L.), ‘Arabella’ narrow-leafed...

Fall 2012
Hydrogenation-derived renewable diesel (HDRD) is a promising alternative fuel due to its excellent low-temperature properties, cetane number, and similarity to fossil diesel. Using Alberta as a basis, data-intensive techno-economic models and life cycle assessment models were developed to...

Spring 2018
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs, which are known to regulate plant responses to abiotic stresses, such as Cold Stress (CS) and during normal growth and development. In Brassica napus (canola), miRNAs regulate various developmental processes and responses to metal stress however;...

Sensitivity of Leptosphaeria maculans isolates to pyraclostrobin and assessment of fungicide efficacy in the management of blackleg of canola
DownloadFall 2016
Blackleg (Leptosphaeria maculans) disease is endemic to canola (Brassica napus) worldwide. With shortened canola rotations and increasing levels of blackleg in Alberta, Canada, growers may look to fungicides as an attractive disease management tool. However, the improper or intensive use of...

Spheroidal gall formation and seedborne infestation by Plasmodiophora brassicae as overlooked aspects of clubroot biology and epidemiology
DownloadFall 2011
Plasmodiophora brassicae, the causal agent of clubroot, can infect many species of the Brassicaceae. Infection results in the formation of galls on the roots of susceptible plants. Most galls are spindle-shaped, but spheroid galls can also develop and are regarded as resistance structures....

Fall 2021
Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is an important soilborne disease of canola (oilseed rape; Brassica napus). The effective and sustainable management of clubroot requires a deeper understanding of clubroot epidemiology and improved durability of host resistance. This research aimed...
