Continue monitoring Leptosphaeria maculans populations following the introduction of new resistance genes Rlm2, Rlm4, and Rlm 7 for effective resistance deployment on the Canadian Prairies
This project aims to help guide the effective use of cultivar resistance, which, when used in combination with other management practices will help mitigate the impact of blackleg on the Prairies.
