Blackleg Management Guide

Published: 8 Apr 2024

Blackleg is a disease of canola that cause severe yield loss, but it can be managed successfully.

Every spring and autumn, in collaboration with Marcroft Pathology and as part of the National Variety Trials program, GRDC produces an updated blackleg management guide. The guides aim to provide the most updated information to help growers and advisers manage canola crops to reduce blackleg infection, and identify high-risk situations where practices need to change to reduce or prevent yield loss.

Use this fact sheet in conjunction with the BlacklegCM app.
