Development of improved diagnostics tools for pathogens of soybean
Read MoreDefining pathogen related soil quality targets for annual legumes to pursue through crop rotation
Given the increasing disease risks to soybean in Manitoba, it is essential to help producers better plan their crop rotations, ie, by determining the pathogens affecting production Our objectives were to assess the effect of soybean frequency in crop rotations on soybean disease status, and to…Read More
Developing rapid molecular diagnostic tools for detecting herbicide resistant weed biotypes
Redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L) is a common broadleaf weed species in Manitoba, Canada Producers in this region have been reporting reduced response of this weed to common Acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibiting herbicides Three suspected resistant populations of redroot pigweed were…Read More
Development of an integrated weed management (IWM) package to mitigate and manage glyphosate-resistance weeds in soybean
General trends among this suite of experiments suggest that agronomic practices used to promote greater soybean yield under weed-free conditions tend to also result in higher yields when under weed interference Environmental conditions played a strong driving role in the efficacy of the various…Read More
Cost-benefit analysis of the anti-inflammatory effects of flax oil
Background and Objectives: Currently, most consumers equate the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids with fish, since the vast majority of research on omega-3 fatty acids has been done on fish Therefore, the purpose of our proposal was to add to an ongoing clinical trial to determine the effect of flax…Read More
