This project will develop decision support tools that will help producers implement herbicide resistant management strategies and make informed decision about how their herbicide choices are affecting future management of their weed populations. Read More

Find new methods to control herbicide resistant wild oats and reducing losses associated with the challenge of herbicide resistance. Read More

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

This project will enable farmers to incorporate cover crops and their benefits into current cropping systems with equipment and resources already available to them. Results from this project will enable farmers to integrate CC into their systems while reducing costly… Read More

This study seeks to fill knowledge gaps on end-of-pipe treatment options for cold climates and undulating landscapes, specifically for saturated buffers, constructed wetlands and phosphorus removal structures. Additionally, the study seeks to demonstrate the practicality, affordability and effectiveness of these… Read More
