This project will focus on improving efficiencies of dryers currently installed by producers in MB and used for the other crops represented by MCA. A combination of engineering analysis and field testing will be peformed to quantify grain dryer efficiences… Read More

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

The deliverables of this project will complement other national and international efforts for the identification of virulence genes in F. graminearum, which are mainly focused on reverse genetic studies, meanwhile it exemplifies the necessity of integrating forward and reverse genetics… Read More

The benchmark information that will be generated by this project will address the feasibility of achieving simultaneous genetic improvement in grain yield and baking quality-related traits in order to develop more resource-use efficient varieties. Read More

Our work will focus on the development and deployment of appropriate to marker-assisted selection of wheat DNA markers that will facilitate breeding of adapted to the prairie environment elite cultivars. These DNA markers and a germplasm carrying newly discovered resistance… Read More

This project aims to breed more resilient crop varieties in the face of water stress Read More

This project will maintain progress in breeding improved DON resistant barley varieties and to identify new tools to breed for DON resistance. Read More

The long-term goal of this research, is to utilize natural immunity in wheat germplasm to identify new sources of effective resistance. The novel resistance genes identified will eventually be passed on to wheat breeding programs for development of FHB and… Read More
