Clubroot is one of the biggest threats to canola. Catching it early makes all the difference. SaskOilseeds funded research with @SaskPolytech used drone-mounted hyperspectral cameras to detect clubroot during early flowering, before above-ground symptoms appear, with over 90% accuracy. Earlier detection = more options for producers. 🌱 Full research summary 👇 saskoilseeds.com/research-resul… #SKAg #Canola #Clubroot #PrecisionAg #CanolaResearch

Strengthening pathways between secondary and post-secondary education is essential to helping students make confident, informed decisions about their futures!

Applied research is helping producers stay one step ahead of crop disease 🌱 @SaskPolytech researchers with the Sustainability Led Integrated Centres of Excellence (SLICE) are using drones and hyperspectral imaging to detect clubroot in canola fields — before visible symptoms appear. With over 90% accuracy, this approach can pinpoint small patch clubroot patches early, allowing targeted treatment and helping producers avoid costly field-wide losses. Smart tech + applied research = stronger, more sustainable canola production. Learn more: saskpolytech.ca/news/posts/202…
