Lead Researcher (PI): Brianne McInnes
Institution: Northeast Agriculture Research Foundation
Total WGRF Funding: $54,000
Co-Funders: Saskatchewan Pulse Growers
Start Date: 2022
Project Length: 3 Years
Objectives:

Determine the effect of late season fungicide applications and whether or not these applications will improve/preserve fababean yield and quality. Determine when a second fungicide application may be best in order to improve/preserve fababean yield and quality. Determine if fungicide application timing should be based on visible symptoms and/or weather events rather than growth stage.
