We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

Quantification of root fungi using signature fatty acids [PDF]
Both deleterious (pathogenic) and beneficial (mycorrhizal) fungi inhabit plant roots with strong impact on plant growth and health. Various methods have been used to quantify these fungi, such as indirect measurements of plant parameters, disease index ...

Pourriture phytophthoréenne de la luzerne au Québec : distribution géographique des symptômes et étude des facteurs édaphiques pouvant favoriser leur expression [PDF]
Nous avons observé chez la luzerne (Medicago sativa) des symptômes attribuables à la pourriture phytophthoréenne (Phytophthora megasperma f. sp. medicaginis) dans les 12 régions agricoles du Québec, avec une présence plus marquée dans l'Outaouais, la ...

Organic intercropping legacy reduces Fusarium pathogens and root rot in subsequent durum wheat
Abstract Intercropping is a sustainable practice becoming increasingly popular in the Canadian Prairies. However, its long‐term impact on diseases in subsequent sole crops is not well understood. We examined root rot and associated fungal communities in durum wheat [Triticum turgidum L. ssp.

ABSTRACT Aquatic insects are the most biodiverse freshwater animals. DNA metabarcoding data are increasingly used to assess variation in insect communities, but they are rarely integrated with information on the abundance or biomass of different taxa that can provide key insights into their functional responses.

We examined Aphanomyces root rot resistance in pea accession No. 9292 and identified a major locus on chromosome 4 conferring resistance to two Canadian isolates of Aphanomyces euteiches. This locus represents a valuable target for breeding pea cultivars with durable resistance, particularly for production in western Canada.
