Verticillium Stripe Workshop

On February 10, 2022, we held a virtual research workshop that presented the culmination of four years worth of verticillium stripe research projects (in which SaskCanola invested $739,940). If you scroll down, you can watch a recording of the workshop and you can also view a sneak peek of the new Verticillium Stripe video that will be launching Spring 2022! In addition, Jay Whetter, Canola Watch editor, wrote a comprehensive article about his learnings from participating in the workshop.
