CANOLA

Brassica campestris, B. napus

Powdery Mildew (fungus - Erysiphe polygoni): The symptoms are an extensive growth of white, powdery fungal mycelium on the upper leaf surface [Photo #1]. Seed pods can also be infected [Photo #2]. A severe infection can lead to premature leaf senescence, resulting in a lower yield.
