This project will aim to develop new varieties, wth improved yields through the selection of lines with optimal reproductive and spike traits. Read More

Management strategies are being challenged by the rapidly evolving and changing populations of these fungi, which are overcoming disease resistance genes and may be acquiring fungicide tolerance. In addition, these diseases can be caused by several different fungal species as… Read More

This project will investigate the application of RNA-based fungicides to control major diseases of crops grown on the prairies, namely wheat and canola. This approach is based on proven research that has demonstrated that the application of RNA molecules directly… 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

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
