One of my favourite slides from the Winter pulse meetings in Saskatoon. If we would have had this slide up 10 years ago it would have only had two or three names. Root rots in pulses are one of the biggest issues facing @SaskPulse

Today, it's beautifully packaged lentil roots from @WARC_SK collected at the perfect stage to see the honey-brown discolouration of Aphanomyces root rot just creeping in to the epicotyl. Some black root rot too on some plants likely caused by Thielaviopsis spp, TBD.
