A large-scale and long-term cropping systems study near Ritzville, WA. Canola acreage is rapidly increasing due to the crop’s yield potential and market value. However, to date, field studies in the Pacific Northwest drylands have shown that wheat yields following canola are reduced compared with wheat grown after another cereal.

Phytophthora crown rot symptom extremes observed among individuals in a strawberry population developed for a genomic selection study. The plants were artificially inoculated with the pathogen. The highly resistant plant (left) was symptomless while the highly susceptible plant (right) wilted and collapsed. Photos by Fred Greaves/UC-Davis.
