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
