Adapted from Ohio State University
A proactive and integrated approach to protecting canola.
1. Practice a 1-in-3 year canola rotation.
2. Grow clubroot resistant canola hybrids if you are in an at-risk region, even if
clubroot has not yet been identified in your fields.
3. Prevent and minimize moving soil between and within fields. Work on infested If you find clubroot
areas last, practice soil conservation, and clean equipment, vehicles and boots. Contact your local area agronomist and inform your provincial agriculture governing body.

Blackleg Disease Symptoms Pioneer Protector® brand canola hybrids that protect against blackleg disease on your farm:
Ì Blackleg occurs on cotyledons, leaves, stems and pods
Ì Leaf lesions are greyish white, round to irregular in shape, often Stem lesions
dotted with black fruiting bodies 45CM39 45CS40 45M38 45H37
Ì Stem lesions can occur at the base of the stem or at points of leaf
attachment
Ì Stem cankers appear as dry sunken lesions with black borders that
girdle the base of the stem and cause the plant to lodge
Ì Inoculum produced on stubble causes infection in subsequent years P501L P502CL NEW 45H42 NEW 45CM44
Races of Blackleg Stem cankers
Ì 90% of blackleg (L.maculans) falls into seven races in western
Canada, with races 2, 3, and 4 being predominant
Ì More than one race of blackleg can be present within a given field,

Types of Blackleg Resistance
There is no quick way to know what race or how many blackleg races
Inoculum
you have in your field - most fields have several races present. Products
with strong adult plant resistance provide peace of mind.
Adult plant resistance: Protects against multiple races of blackleg
and is strong and durable resistance over time. Adult plant resistance
can provide more durable product performance in situations where
selection pressure for overcoming resistance is increased (e.g., high
canola frequency in rotations).
Seedling resistance: This resistance protects against only one race of blackleg.

Things to Keep in Mind About Corn Silage
Ì Document the crop stage at first killing frost and manage accordingly – e.g., if corn was at blacklayer,

add supplemental roughage to minimize risk of acidosis of starch as an energy source in the diet

Backgrounding Beef Calves* production
Some key takeaways from these two studies: Ì At silage maturity, the corn plant is still producing starch – the longer it stays in the field,
Ì Total feed costs average $2.54/cow/day for Grazing standing corn compared to $3.21/cow/day round the more starch is produced
bale barley hay fed in drylot pens (DL)** Ì To ensure silage success adhere to proper silage whole-plant moisture when determining harvest timing
Ì Total system costs were 21% lower for Grazing standing corn compared to DL
Ì When comparing costs of barley silage versus corn silage, use a per ton basis – while per acre costs are
Ì Total system costs on grazing whole plant standing corn was 46% less than feeding hay in the drylot
higher for corn silage, production costs on a per ton basis favour corn silage
Grazing whole plant corn is an effective alternative to traditional drylot herd management.

# Various factors, including pest pressure, reduced susceptibility, and insect resistance in some pest populations may affect efficacy of certain
corn technology products in some regions. To help extend durability of these technologies, Pioneer recommends you implement Integrated
Pest Management (IPM) practices such as crop rotation, cultural and biological control tactics (including rotating sources of Bt-protected corn
traits), pest scouting, and appropriate use of pest thresholds when employing management practices such as insecticide application. You must
also plant the required refuge when using these technologies. Please contact your authorized Pioneer Representative or consult with your local
university extension for more information regarding insect resistance management guidelines, best management practices and to understand
whether there has been a shift in susceptibility or insect resistance with certain pests documented in your area.
* Western bean cutworm has been removed from the Pioneer product use statement for several corn products that contain Herculex® I (Cry1F)
but lack another mode of action for western bean cutworm due to a wide-spread decrease in susceptibility indicating the possibility of field-
evolved resistance to Cry1F in most geographies.
