During the previous two weeks the Crop Protection Lab (CPL) received 21 plant disease samples for diagnosis, as well as 71 elm tree samples that are being tested for Dutch Elm Disease (DED). The deadline to submit samples for DED testing this year is Friday, August 30.
The lab has received samples of barley, wheat, oats, canola, lentils, peas, faba bean and chickpea for plant disease testing with diagnosis still ongoing for some of these submissions. The lab is also diagnosing samples collected from the ministry’s 2024 plant disease surveys. Preliminary results suggest that root health issues are affecting many crops, indicating the importance of integrated management strategies. There has been an increase of samples submitted with insect damage observed, namely from aphids. All sample submissions to the CPL should adhere to the sample submission guidelines.
The CPL continues to receive weed seeds to be tested for herbicide resistance. If you suspect herbicide resistance within your weed population, you can submit seeds for testing by January 15, 2025. Submission guidelines can be found on the Herbicide Resistance Testing Samples webpage.
