Background<br />

For many years, blackleg disease <strong>of</strong> canola was<br />

managed effectively with resistant cultivars in<br />

conjunction with 4-yr crop rotation<br />

Leptosphaeria maculans race structure has been<br />

changing, influenced by R genes used in canola<br />

cultivars and environmental conditions<br />

<strong>Blackleg</strong> disease is on the rise, more noticeable in<br />

some regions than others on the prairies
