This project supports a new researcher in the Agribusiness department at the University of Manitoba. While supported by this funding program, the researcher will evaluate the impacts of COVID-19 and the identification of other potential disruptions to Manitoba and Canada's… Read More

Fertilizer Canada will work to facilitate the 2021 Fertilizer Use Survey, which will include the surveying of 500 wheat growers across Western Provinces. Fertilizer Canada and the participating wheat commissions will work together through the Fertilizer Use Survey Working Group… Read More

Canola, soybean, and wheat yields were to be compared for controlled drainage spacing against a no drainage control treatment, in a clay soils. Yield data will be collected and modelede against measured ater table depths. A completed model could evaluate… Read More

Phytoglobin has been identified in Corn and Soybeans as a marker of moisture resilience. This sub project will use a similar research protocol for barley. The implications are very important for early screening of varieties that may have greater resilience… Read More

A targeted small watershed will be used to link existing soil moisture monitoring infrastructure and Aquanty computer modeling to verify (in near real time) moisture predictability and crop health/risk implications. Read More

This research project will examine the ability of soil management practices to increase SOM on eroded land, to rebuild its long-term productivity and profitability. Read More

Intensive moisture measurements and monitoring will be incorporated into existing crop rotation studies at the University of Manitoba. Read More

This project will network farmers, agronomists, provincial specialists and researchers to evaluate cropping systems intensification using cover crops to manage extreme moisture conditions in Manitoba. Read More

In addition to the direct effects of erratic moisture conditions on crop yield and quality, one of the key questions from both a production and environmental standpoint is - how can growers best manage N fertilizer under extreme moisture conditions… Read More
