Angela Van de WouwGUEST
So if you increase your Alternaria risk, you are in serious trouble.
Angela Van de WouwGUEST
Add to that sclerotinia.
Angela Van de WouwGUEST
Sclerotinia is a nightmare.
Angela Van de WouwGUEST
We don't have any genetics to it.
Angela Van de WouwGUEST
Again, the only control strategy is a fungicide.

Geoff FosberyGUEST
It is a major component.
Geoff FosberyGUEST
And for a lot of, dare I say, lower to medium rainfall areas, it is the profit driver of the industry.
Geoff FosberyGUEST
And we've talked about Altenaria, Sclerotinia and Blackleg from a disease perspective.
Clint YerkeGUEST
Um, it-- what, what, uh, what did you observe that was taking away the yields in, in your fields? Was, was it related to what you're feeding the crop, uh, like around fertility? Was it related to some bugs? Was it related to some disease? So hopefully you, you've got a, a good sense for, for what was in your crop that could have been reducing your yield, the, the so-called yield robbers.
Clint YerkeGUEST
Um, if you, if you don't, maybe you had, uh, an agronomist that was in, in your fields that could help you out with saying, "Uh, you know what? Actually, we did see quite a bit of Sclerotinia this year," or, "Oh, we got a pocket of clubroot in back, uh, near the, the field entrance that, that might be, uh, undiagnosed." So having a good sense for, for what was, what was going on out there this year, uh, does give you some predictive capacity for what might happen next year, but not always.
Clint YerkeGUEST
Like, uh, the weather's different every year and, and so, uh, choosing the right hybrid for twenty twenty-seven is there, there's a science behind it, but there's a bit of an art as well.
Clint YerkeGUEST
You have to predict a bit what's, what, uh, what that, what that growing conditions potentially could be like in twenty twenty-seven.
Clint YerkeGUEST

Clint YerkeGUEST
There, there's a science behind it, but there's a bit of an art as well.
Libby PriceHOST
So that was for Blackleg, was it?
Kathryn BurkeGUEST
Blackleg and Sclerotinia are the two things they would have been chasing.
Kathryn BurkeGUEST
There's going to be phenomenal canola crops and of course there's those that have had watercourses running through their places and they're not so flashy.
Kathryn BurkeGUEST
I guess Overall, on country that can handle the weather, usually in situations like this, the bonus that you get on the good stuff makes up for what you lose on the low-lying
