This project will evaluate microbial populations in Manitoba soils and develop linkages to determine the effect of crop management practices on the soil microbial community. This is an important step to develop soil health assessments suitable for Manitoba growing conditions. Read More

This project will create an additional tool to help growers manage weeds by improving the timing of weed control. Creating knowledge of the relationship between weed emergence timing, harvest timing and the impact of viable seed production will aid in… Read More

This project will evaluate the impact of using low ground pressure tractive systems as a method of mitigating soil compaction during field operations under wet soil conditions. Read More

This project covers the first three years of a larger project to determine the status of herbicide-resistant (HR) weeds in the Canadian prairies from 2019 to 2023. The project will use a series of provincial HR weed surveys to provide… Read More

Tis study will help the agricultural industry through knowledge building, demonstration and capacity building in soil and water and salinity management in undulating landscapes in SW MB. Tile drainage is an emerging practice in this extensive and socio-economically important region… Read More

Results from this research will be directly applied to winter wheat variety development at the University of Manitoba and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. CWRW breeders will benefit from an improved understanding of the leaf rust resistance in our germplasm and… Read More

This project will look at the effect of foliar fungicide strategies on the mitigation of FHB in barley. Read More

The knowledge, germplasm and markers generated from this project will accelerate breeding cycles and benefit the wheat industry. Read More

The distribution of Cry1F resistance and the status of Bt susceptibility in Canada will be measured by screening ECB collections from different regions in laboratory bioassays. This work will be conducted over multiple years to determine the current range, spread,… Read More
