UFA Canola Seed: 

A Well Rounded Portfolio for 

Farmers’ Individual Needs 

Every farm is unique. Each field has different soil types, 

topography, weed spectrums and crop rotation history. Farms 

are getting bigger, and with challenging weather conditions and 

changing seasons it’s harder than ever to seed, spray and swath 

when you want to. 

One way to help manage the growing needs of today’s farms 

is to use a mix of canola varieties. A combination of early and 

later maturing varieties can help manage your fall workload, and 

diversification can help ease production risk. UFA offers a full 

range of canola hybrids to address your farm’s individual needs, 

including early maturing options to help manage swath timing 

and enhanced disease protection where rotations are tightening 

or clubroot is a concern. Different varieties respond differently 

to growing conditions and soil types; using a combination of 

products will help you manage whatever Mother Nature throws 

your way.

All canola varieties have attributes that make them top 

performers under the right conditions. UFA offers canola varieties 

in all three of the top production systems, Roundup Ready ® , 

LibertyLink ® and Clearfield ® .

Nexera Roundup Ready ® and Clearfield ® 

The DEKALB ® and CANTERRA SEEDS canola seed options rely 

on the Genuity ® Roundup Ready ® weed control trait, which 

controls the widest spectrum and stages of weeds of any canola 

system on the market today. It remains the best tool available 

for managing Group 1 and Group 2 resistant weeds and offers 

great flexibility with a wide window of application and reliable 

performance under challenging environmental conditions. 

UFA also carries the most popular varieties of InVigor ® canola 

seed using the LibertyLink ® production system from Bayer 

CropScience. InVigor ® hybrids have been the highest yielding 

hybrids over the past 16 years according to the WCC/RRC public 

co-op trials. And for those farmers who can participate in the 

value-added contract canola market, UFA features three Nexera TM 

varieties which utilize either the Roundup Ready ® or Clearfield ® 

weed control programs.

Published performance results for each variety are available from 

the seed vendors, and from the Canola Council of Canada’s 

Canola Performance Trials program. Talk to your local UFA Farm 

and Ranch Store, Crop Production Representative or Key Account 

Manager about the canola mix that’s right for your farm.

Disease Prevention 

Major disease damage on canola crops can only occur when the 

following conditions are satisfied: 

• the crop is susceptible 

• the disease is present 

• the environmental conditions are favourable for the disease 

• the disease has sufficient time to develop to cause damage 

Disease management strategies must counter one or more of 

these factors to reduce or prevent initial disease populations, 

and to slow their rates of increase. 

A major component of disease management is proper field scouting. 

Talk to your local UFA Crop Production Representative about 

scouting your fields. 

Disease 

18

Clubroot 

Prevention of clubroot requires all participants in the canola 

industry to be vigilant. Stopping its introduction to clean fields 

is the only way to prevent clubroot because there are currently 

no economically viable options for controlling clubroot in canola 

once it is established in a field. 

Clubroot is spread mainly by the movement of soil containing 

soil-borne resting spores. Soil transport can occur by wind and 

water erosion, on field machinery, in manure from animals fed 

contaminated feed, and in soil attached to seeds (earth tag). 

The amount of soil required to initiate infection in a new field 

is unknown. Any soil transfer from an infected field should be 

viewed as a risk. Clubroot surveys in Alberta have found that 

almost all new infestations begin near the field access, which 

indicates that contaminated equipment is the predominant 

spread mechanism. 

Growers, custom operators and all land users (including oil and 

gas industry participants and recreationalists) must be diligent in 

removing potentially contaminated soil from equipment prior to 

leaving fields. The best approach to managing clubroot is to be 

proactive. If you are a grower or landowner, ask agronomists, 

custom operators, researchers, and anyone else coming onto your 

land (oil and gas crews) about the sanitation measures they use 

to prevent the spread of clubroot. 

Preventative Measures 

• Crop rotation 

• Control volunteer canola and cruciferous weeds in rotation 

• Use clean seed 

Disease 

19

Sclerotinia 

Moist soils promote the growth of apothecia from sclerotia 

that came from previously infected plants. With higher rates 

of sclerotinia infection across the Prairies in 2010, and with 

moist soils this year, apothecia numbers will be very high. 

Apothecia eject spores into air and wind spreads them all over 

the countryside. Spore release can take place over a period of 

weeks, filling the Prairie air with ascospores. These spores land 

everywhere, but only those that land on canola petals concern 

the canola grower. Ascospores need dead plant tissue to continue 

their cycle. Petals drop off, land in the canopy and then start 

to decay. These decaying petals give the sclerotinia spores the 

energy to produce hyphae that invade stem tissue. Because most 

fungicide sprays do not effectively penetrate the stem tissue to 

eradicate infection, living flowers are the best target 

for fungicides to prevent sclerotinia infection. 


• Use a minimum four-year rotation with non-susceptible crops 

• Use pedigreed seed 

• Control weeds and volunteers 

• Use B. rapa varieties 

• Manage stubble and crop residue (direct seeding might reduce 

apothecia production) 

• Foliar fungicide treatments are effective 

Disease 

20

Assessing the Risk for Sclerotinia Stem Rot 

in Canola 

Sclerotinia incidence can vary greatly among fields and 

years, making scheduled spraying of fungicides unprofitable. 

However, when sclerotinia risk is high, preventative fungicide 

applications can effectively lower disease severity and improve 

yield. Assessment of disease risk within each field is essential 

to improve the odds that fungicides are only applied when it is 

economical to do so. 

This checklist developed in Sweden can be useful in helping to 

assess disease risk in fields. Growers should fill out the checklist 

for each field shortly after first flower (when 75% of the canola 

plants have at least 3 open flowers). The greater the risk score for 

a field the higher the probability of a positive economic return. 

Results in Sweden have suggested that fields scoring 40 or higher 

will likely benefit from a fungicide, but this may vary depending 

on fungicide cost and commodity price. Using this checklist 

effectively requires scouting for apothecia, usually in nearby cereal 

crops following canola or other host crops (e.g. beans, sunflowers) 

in the rotation. The same moist soil conditions conducive to 

apothecia production can also favour the development of 

many other types of mushrooms or fruiting bodies. Accurate 

identification of apothecia is critical to effectively determine the 

risk of stem rot. 

What are apothecia? Apothecia are small fruiting structures 

that look like tiny mushrooms germinating from sclerotia. They are 

slightly cupped (similar to the top of a golf tee) with a diameter 

of between 5 and 15 mm (0.2” to 0.6”), with a stalk no more 

than 50 mm (2”) long that is mostly below ground. The apothecia 

release many spores, called ascospores, which are the infectious 

Disease 

21

agents of the fungus. Emergence of large numbers of apothecia 

at or just prior to the early bloom stage will increase potential for 

petal infection. 

Petal testing (developed by the University of Saskatchewan 

and available from Discovery Seed Labs at time of publication) 

throughout the flowering period can also provide additional 

information regarding the proportion of petals that are actually 

infested with spores of sclerotinia, which can be correlated with 

risk of sclerotinia development. However, the test is a snap shot 

of infection when the petals were collected and subsequent 

disease development in the crop is strongly influenced by weather 

conditions, particularly precipitation and relative humidity. 

Something else that may affect the risk profile of a field is the 

genetics that have been chosen. Research has shown that there 

is a correlation between lodging and sclerotinia levels, and 

susceptibility to lodging can be related to genetics. As well, the 

introduction of varieties with some tolerance to sclerotinia into 

the marketplace offers an additional management tool that may 

reduce the risk in fields where they are grown.

Alternaria Black Spot (Grey Leaf Spot) 

Alternaria black spot is caused by the fungi Alternaria brassicae, 

A. alternata and A. raphani. Black spot is one of the most common 

diseases of canola in western Canada. Although Alternaria is 

present every year on the Canadian prairies, the severity of this 

disease varies considerably from year to year and area to area 

based largely on the moisture and temperature situation. The 

disease can infect all growth stages of the canola plant. 


• Sow clean seed of high germination 

• Use minimum three-year rotation 

• Control volunteer canola and cruciferous weeds (mustards) 

• Early swathing will reduce seed loss 

• B. napus types tend to be less affected 

Blackleg 

Disease 

Blackleg is caused by the fungus Leptosphaeria maculans. It is a 

serious disease of canola and can cause significant yield losses in 

susceptible varieties. Blackleg occurs in a mild and highly virulent 

strain. The mild type is widespread in western Canada. This strain 

usually infects plants very late in the season, rarely causing 

yield losses of even 1 to 2%. Therefore, it is considered a minor 

problem. Virulent or severe blackleg infects canola seedlings and 

progressively damages the growing crop in June and July. 


• Use a minimum of a four-year rotation 

• Control volunteer canola and cruciferous weeds 

• Stubble and crop residue management necessary 

24

• Seed treatments may reduce spread into areas where 

disease is absent 

• Use resistant or moderately resistant varieties 

Understanding Blackleg Resistance Ratings 

Growing B. napus varieties that are moderately resistant or 

resistant to blackleg in areas with a high potential for virulent 

blackleg is highly suggested. However, a resistant variety is not 

immune to the disease. Stems can still be infected as shown by 

the scale used for determining the blackleg classification 

of varieties.

Rating 

% of Westar 

Resistant < 28 

Moderatly Resistant 29 to 45 

Moderately Suseptible 46 to 63

Varieties rated “R” or “MR” for blackleg will suffer less yield loss 

than those with less resistance. All current B. rapa varieties are 

susceptible to blackleg disease. In areas where virulent blackleg 

is at low levels or has not been found, all registered varieties 

are suitable.
