Application of hyperspectral imaging for detection and mapping of small patch clubroot infestations in commercial canola fields
Researchers had a couple of objectives to complete during this project; the first was to identify readily applied diagnostic features for mapping small patch clubroot distributions using hyperspectral data, and to develop a diagnostic tool. Second, they wanted to refine and validate the diagnostic tool for identifying small patches of clubroot infestations.

Canola plays a significant role in carbon sequestration given the deep rooting nature of the crop. Priority 1 activities will concentrate on methods to further increase carbon sequestration, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions from fertilizer and dairy-associated methane emissions. Projects will evaluate strategies to increase nitrogen use efficiency and improve nitrogen management and methods to inform fertilizer rate recommendations.
