In Western Canada, wheat is the cereal crop with the largest acerage; however, increasingly variable climate conditions and stress suchs as drought can affect plant development, yield and profitability for growers. This places more ephasis ondeveloping tolerant varieties with high… Read More

This information will help producers make decisions on where to focus their input dollars and will provide an opportunity to highlight the effects of PGR’s in spring wheat production. This information can also be used to determine if the variety… Read More

This project aims to generate research-based information to support on-farm agronomic and farm management decisions by determining the effect of including soybean and field pea in Manitoba cropping systems on crop productivity and quality, diseases, soil health, nutrient cycling, and… Read More

The goal of 4DWheat is to use cutting edge science to accelerate the future development of higher yielding, stress resistant wheat varieties grown by Canadian farmers thereby creating substantial economic and environmental benefits for Canadians. Read More

This project will provide input to policy makers and land use planners regarding areas where there is potential to improve wheat yields. Read More

Potential identification of fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance in intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) germplasm developed at the U of M. Read More

The University of Manitoba has established a perennial grain program headed by Doug Cattani. He has followed two intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium) (Kernza®) nurseries established in Carman for up to three reproductive years after transplanting to ascertain the sustainability of… Read More

The main goal of this project is to develop short- and long-term strategies for mitigating the effects of excess moisture on wheat yield an quality. Read More
