Canola Watch – Sclerotinia survey
1.
What best describes you?
Farmer
Agronomist
Retail
Other (please specify)
2.
Did you (farmer) or one of your customers (agronomist/retail) purchase a DNA petal test for sclerotinia spores this year?
Yes
No
3.
If you answered "Yes" to question 2, did results from that test suggest that you or your customer should spray for sclerotinia?
Yes
No
4.
Did you end up spraying for sclerotinia? (For agronomists and retails, answer "Yes" if most of your customers sprayed and "No" if just a small number or no customers sprayed.)
Yes
No
5.
Based on disease assessment at harvest, do you think the fungicide decision to spray or not spray was the right one? (Careful with personal bias. People often look for justification to support past decisions, but was it really the right business decision?)
Yes
No
6.
What was the sclerotinia incidence rate (what percentage of plants in the field have sclerotinia stem rot)
on the field that had the petal test
? (Skip if you didn't do a petal test.)
0-25%
26-50%
51-75%
76-100%
7.
Building on question 6, what was the average sclerotinia stem rot severity rating for those infected plants? (Skip if you didn't do a petal test.)
1 (Lesions on pods only)
2 (Stem lesions with potential to affect up to 1/4 of seed formation)
3 (Stem lesions with potential to affect up to 1/2 of seed formation)
4 (Stem lesions with potential to affect up to 3/4 of seed formation)
5 (Stem lesions with potential to affect seed formation for the entire plant.)
