Plant breeders and trait developers have been working to understand the physiology of canola pod ripening and pod shatter mechanisms

Stacked 1st and next-generation clubroot resistance genes that provide protection against a broad array of established and newer pathotypes such as 3A, 2B, 3D, 8E, 5G, 5K, 3O and 5X BY 7102LL BY 6207TF BY 6214TF BY 6217TF

The DefendR trait platform is gene-driven and can be an important piece of your overall canola management and production strategy BrettYoung uses the DefendR designation to signal genetic tolerance to pod shatter and durable resistance to the three prominent disease complexes affecting canola: clubroot, blackleg and sclerotinia

BrettYoung currently has two TruFlex ® canola hybrids with this feature: BY 6211TF and BY 6217TF Pod DefendR will also be available in both the LibertyLink ® and Clearfield ® herbicide platforms soon Blackleg DefendR® Blackleg is back in the spotlight as a disease that has made a resurgence in intensive canola production areas Most agree that managing this disease requires a combination of crop rotation, crop management (including regular field scouting), and proper hybrid selection as important factors to reducing the impact of this disease

If you’re looking to adopt a blackleg major gene rotation strategy, look to the Blackleg DefendR system as BrettYoung shares the gene-specific information on all of our Blackleg DefendR hybrids

Clubroot DefendR® Clubroot is now established in all three Prairie provinces Since 2013, when the first resistance-breaking pathotype was identified in Alberta, several new and more virulent pathotypes have evolved that can evade what is known as 1st generation (Mendel-type) resistance The clubroot DefendR trait indicates that the canola hybrid has 1st generation resistance stacked with newer, nextgeneration Clubroot resistance gene(s) This approach means resistance to the older, first-identified pathotypes, but also resistance to recently identified ones like 3A, 2B, 3D, 8E, 5G, 5K, 3O and 5X (and others) DL Seeds has a robust pipeline coupled to high-performance hybrids that BrettYoung will continue to commercialize to support you in keeping one step ahead of this impactful disease For the latest around the conversation on clubroot see the article on page 10 of this guide

A dependable level of shatter tolerance well suited to straight-cut or delayed swathing harvest systems BY 6211TF BY 6217TF

Much of the work has meant isolating specific genes from other brassica species and breeding them into canola to interrupt these shatter-inducing pathways If you have ever grown mustard, you are aware of the substantial pod shatter resistance in that crop

The Blackleg DefendR trait means that the BrettYoung canola hybrid is rated as a strong R for blackleg resistance It also means that the hybrid incorporates multiple major genes to be completely resistant against specific races of the pathogen Blackleg DefendR hybrids achieve an enhanced level of resistance compared to competitor’s R-rated hybrids that have either zero or only one major gene for blackleg resistance

Resistance Trait Minimum Resistance Level Hybrids

The result is Pod DefendR, a specific genetic trait that reduces pod tension built up at maturity and ultimately, the tendency for canola pods to split at the pod dehiscence zone (pod seam) that holds both sides of the pod (valves) together

Pod DefendR®

The introduction of pod shatter-resistant hybrids to canola growers several years ago led to a significant increase in adoption of both direct harvesting and delayed swathing of canola crops BrettYoung canola growers can now enjoy this same flexibility because of our new pod shatter resistance trait, which delivers a dependable level of shatter tolerance Pod shattering, and the seed dispersion associated with it, is a survival mechanism found in nature and, despite decades of breeding and domestication, canola pods still have a natural tendency to split and open at maturity, with the goal of scattering seeds

Concurrent with the identification of new pathotypes, breeders have been identifying and incorporating new sources of resistance into the latest canola hybrids This includes the stacking of multiple sources of resistance to clubroot in hybrids with the Clubroot DefendR® trait This trait has resistance to the older pathotypes that were first identified in Western Canada (2F, 3H, 5I, 6M, 8N) and to many newer pathotypes, including: 3A, 2B, 3D, 8E, 5G, 5K, 3O and 5X Stacking of major clubroot resistance genes into single hybrids is an important factor on how effective and durable the resistance will be in next-generation clubroot-resistant products

Recommended Clubroot Management Practices

There is no standard industry definition but in general, next-generation clubroot-resistant hybrids include 1st generation resistance genes but should also contain additional resistance genes that may provide protection against newer pathotypes such as 3A, 2B, 3D, 8E, 5G, 5K, 3O and 5X Consult the supplier of the variety for specific resistance profile information

Fig. 1 Prevalence of Plasmodiophora brassicae pathotypes across the Canadian Prairies and in the provinces of Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Based on collections made from canola crops in 2017 and 2018. One hundred and sixty-six P. brassicae field isolates were tested, including 146 from Alberta, and 10 from each of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Pathotype classifications are according to the Canadian Clubroot Differential set.

One result of this research is the development of the Canadian Clubroot Differential (CCD)set Pathotype identification is based on the combination of a number (2, 3, 5, 6, 8) from the Williams’ Differential set with a letter (A through Z) from the CCD set 1 Identification of new pathotypes continues and it is believed that of the 43 pathotypes currently recognized, as many as 25 can overcome 1st generation resistance genes 2,3

CLUBROOT MANAGEMENT

The discovery of new pathotypes capable of overcoming 1st generation clubroot-resistant hybrids has generated a significant amount of research to characterize these pathotypes and identify new sources of genetic resistance

Clubroot is a costly canola disease that growers need to be aware of and understand the recommended management practices for The latest research confirms continued spread of the disease throughout the canolagrowing areas of Canada Many new pathotypes are present in the intensive clubroot areas of Alberta where the disease was first identified in Western Canada; however, new pathotypes are being identified in other canola-producing regions This is a result of too often relying on the protection provided by a hybrid’s genetic resistance and ignoring the need for an integrated pest management approach with a diverse crop rotation It ’s well documented in clubroot areas that intensive canola rotations are a serious factor in aggravating disease incidence and are creating conditions for new clubroot pathotypes to emerge These new emerging pathotypes are spreading at a slower rate but still pose a challenge for plant breeders to develop hybrids that provide effective protection against them Clubroot Pathotypes

The Canola Council of Canada (CCC) provides a list of recommendations to manage the spread of clubroot spores by focusing on keeping them low and local Growers in areas not impacted by 1st generation resistance-overcoming pathotypes can prevent the accumulation of spores for as long as possible by using resistant hybrids such as BY 6217TF, BY 6207TF and BY 5125CL Hybrids with the DefendR® clubroot trait are recommended for areas where incidence of resistance breakdown is suspected Visit brettyoung.ca/BY6207TF for further information on performance and its DefendR®-rated, clubroot resistance package

BrettYoung’s Clubroot DefendR®: Broad Resistance with a Multi-genic Approach

1st Generation Resistance

First-generation clubroot-resistant hybrids tend to be hybrids that can trace their resistance genetics to a resistance profile similar to the European-bred winter canola variety, Mendel These hybrids are typically resistant to pathotypes 2, 3, 5, 6 and 8 (per the Williams’ Differential set, which are equivalent to pathotypes 2F, 3H, 5I, 6M and 8N on the CCD set)

Canadian Journal of Plant Pathology 40:284–298, DOI: 10 1080/07060661 2018 1459851

Certain newer pathotypes such as 3A, 3D and 8E are overcoming the 1st generation resistance genes found in many canola hybrids The 3A and 3D pathotypes are the most frequently reported clubroot pathotypes where canola hybrids are showing susceptibility These newer pathotypes are spreading at a slower rate Adopting hybrids with next-generation clubroot resistance genes as well as appropriate management practices will be key for growers in areas where risk of new clubroot pathotype emergence is high

Use of 1st and Next-Generation Clubroot Clubroot-resistantResistancehybridsshould be deployed broadly on all acres A crop rotation with at least a two-year break between canola crops will alleviate clubroot spore levels and minimize selection pressure Growing 1st generation resistant hybrids is to be followed up with active disease scouting to monitor hybrid performance and help identify resistance-breaking pathotypes early If there are known resistance-overcoming pathotypes in the region, growing a next-generation clubroot-resistant hybrid is recommended after a two-year break from canola

The Blackleg DefendR disease protection system means unique germplasm that offers (TruFlex™, Roundup Ready ®, LibertyLink ® or Clearfield ® herbicide systems) different blackleg resistance backgrounds with a range of quantitative resistance genes and combinations of major genes to effectively manage blackleg

Blackleg stubble tests determine the L. maculans genotype and phenotype expressed in the field. The phenotype is used to determine which resistance gene groups will provide protection towards the L.maculans races identified. Phenotype AvrLm4-5-6-7-11 Rlm4, Rlm7 Therefore, resistance gene groups E1 and E2 would be effective

Resistance

The most important tool for blackleg management is rotation Blackleg overwinters on infected stubble, which is the primary source of inoculum in subsequent canola crops CCC recommends a minimum of two years between canola crops to allow for breakdown of stubble to reduce the disease inoculum level Controlling volunteer canola and host weeds in off-years is also an important part of rotation management

The most relied upon tool against blackleg is genetic resistance Canola hybrids protect themselves against blackleg with two types of genetic resistance:

Through Knowledge

Blackleg

The key to managing blackleg on your farm is through scouting fields prior to harvest, assessing the level of incidence and developing an estimate of blackleg risk

Major gene resistance is effective but specific to a blackleg race Just as overuse of herbicides with the same mode of action can cause herbicide resistance in weeds, repeated use of the same hybrid (or major gene resistance group) can lead to intense selection pressure for unique blackleg races Ultimately, this may lead to erosion of the resistance provided by that specific blackleg gene

Growers at high risk of blackleg infection due to intense canola rotations, or growers who have already observed an increased level of disease incidence based on field scouting observations in previous years, should consider rotating resistance sources That means choosing a hybrid that has a different major gene group(s) from the one previously grown; i e , R–C to R–CE 1 If a grower has lab results indicating the predominant pathogen races in their field, they should choose hybrids that have genetic resistance to these races, if available If not available, changing to a hybrid with a different genetic makeup of major gene resistance group(s) and quantitative resistance is the best BrettYoungoption

Race Resistance A

Testing tools are available for growers to better understand the race pressure in fields experiencing high levels of blackleg

The labs that provide testing are 20/20 Seed Labs Inc , SGS Canada, PSI Lab and Discovery Seed Labs Contact one of the labs, your local RAM, or CCC agronomy specialist to lear n more about using blackleg race identification testing

Resistance

Other blackleg management practices include the use of early season fungicides Fungicides serve as a protectant, and to have any impact they must be applied before the development of the disease New seed treatments for early infection control are recommended over a foliar application to manage blackleg, as it protects at the critical window for blackleg timing, while most foliar applications miss this window 2 Both application methods may have an effect on yield when the hybrid’s genetic resistance does not effectively control the predominant L. maculans race(s)

Variety Resistance

• Quantitative resistance/field tolerance: Consists of multiple genes working together to slow the infection within the plant This resistance will provide protection from any P. sojae race that is trying to invade Varieties with race-specific resistance are molecular screened to identify the major genes, whereas quantitative resistance is evaluated in the field to determine the level of protection provided A combination of both resistance types is recommended to minimize disease symptoms caused by multiple pathotypes of P. sojae

PHYTOPHTHORA ROOT ROT IN SOYBEAN

• Major-gene/race-specific resistance (Rps gene): Single-resistance gene to P. sojae that stops plant infection from occurring Each resistance gene protects against specific races and does not provide overall protection from all races Rps1a, Rps1c, Rps1k, Rps3a and Rps6 are the most common resistance genes

Growers dealing with PRR or at high risk of the disease should select a variety that targets the predominant races detected within the region This information can be found through provincial soybean disease surveys In fields with a history of PRR, select varieties with enhanced resistance genes and strong field tolerance to target P. sojae races identified For fields at a lower risk of PRR, it’s still recommended to use a resistant variety to minimize potential spread and damage from the pathogen Rotating resistance genes over time minimizes selection pressure and increases longevity of resistance sources to help manage PRR

Resistant varieties are one of the most relied upon practices to minimize PRR damage in soybean The two main types of plant host resistance are:

SOYBEANS

Phytophthora root rot (PRR) is a root and stem disease that infects soybean at any stage during plant development

The soil-borne pathogen, Phytopthora sojae, remains dormant in the soil for several years and seeks out nearby soybean roots to infect P. sojae thrives in warm, wet soils and can increase in high frequency soybean crop rotations

Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybeans are tolerant to both dicamba (Group 4) and glyphosate (Group 9), and are intended to provide soybean growers with the option of applying Roundup WeatherMAX® herbicide (glyphosate) and dicamba for maximum weed control

•BenefitsEmploying

• The residual activity of dicamba may reduce early weed competition and improve late-season control, supporting higher yields and cleaner fields at harvest

Hybrid Selection

Optimal planting depth is 1 5 to 2 inches deep, with planting date set in early to mid-May across Western Canada Early planting can be risky due to cold soil and air temperatures delaying germination Cor n, once established, can withstand spring frost events with the growing point still below the soil surface up until the V6 stage Plant stress does occur at this stage but fall frosts typically pose a greater risk to corn yield and standability

The erect growth habit of corn and slow canopy closure make it a poor competitor with weeds Achieving a uniform plant population will help minimize weed pressure and allow for better staging of herbicide applications

2 Measuring plant moisture can be completed by taking plant samples that best represent the crop stage, chopping samples finely, then using a moisture tester to determine the percentage of dry matter Silage corn cutting height should be set for 4 to 6 inches to minimize yield reductions

Grazing Corn Grazing corn is best utilized for a herd once the ground is frozen to minimize plant waste Whole plant feed analysis is recommended to determine which supplements should be provided in addition to the corn Corn grazing is considered an effective use of the crop when less than 810 kg/ac of residue remain post-grazing

SILAGE & GRAZING CORN MANAGEMENT

Like other crops, corn needs a firm, moist seedbed to allow for even germination

Both BY Brava RR2 and BY Belmont RR2 have Roundup Ready ® Corn 2 technology, allowing for flexibility in glyphosate applications to target the crop at the critical early growth phases

3

It is recommended to select grazing or silage corn hybrids with 100 to 200 more CHUs than grain corn hybrids to reach 65% whole plant moisture for the region O ther factors to consider on hybrid selection should include yield, standability/stalk strength, drydown rate and disease/herbicide traits

The main consideration when deciding on a silage or a grazing hybrid is maturity and required corn heat units (CHU) For silage corn, a hybrid that reaches the dent stage (R5) before a killing frost is ideal as it ensures the proper moisture level in silage piles to minimize spoilage
