Canola, Flax and Field Pea
Disease Resistance Ratings

This publication provides disease ratings for registered varieties of oilseed and pulse crops. Resistance to diseases can be an important consideration in the selection of an appropriate variety, but there are many other agronomic factors to consider as well. Not all of the varieties listed will be suitable for every region of British Columbia.

Argentine
B. napus
All cultivars None None

Note: There is a new race of white rust (Race 7V) that can attack all Polish varieties of canola. Argentine varieties remain immune.

Canola - Alternaria

There are currently no canola varieties that are resistant to Alternaria stem and pod spot. However, Brassica rapa (= B. campestris) cultivars are much more susceptible than B. napus cultivars.


Flax Rust

Resistant Intermediate Susceptible
All registered cultivars: CDC Arras, CDC Bethune, CDC Gold, AC Carnduff, AC Emerson, Hanley, Lightning, Flanders, 1084, AC Linora, Linott, AC McDuff, McGregor, NorLin, NorMan, CDC Normandy, Prairie Blue, Somme, CDC Valour, Vimy, and AC Watson, Macbeth, CDC Mons, 2047. None None of the registered cultivars in Canada.

Flax Wilt

Resistant Intermediate Susceptible
Hanley, Lightning, AC Linora, AC Emerson. All other currently registered cultivars None


Field Peas

Powdery Mildew
Powdery mildew resistance has been rated as ‘very good’ for the following cultivars: AC Melfort , CDC Acer, CDC Bronco, CDC Golden, CDC Handel, CDC Minuet, CDC Montero, CDC Mozart, CDC Sonata, Cutlass, DS-Admiral, DS-Stalwarth, Eclipse, Miser, SW Parade, SW Salute, and Topeka.

Escape from powdery mildew disease may occur by seeding early and by planting early maturing cultivars.
