The objectives of this study conducted in the semi-arid Prairies were to determine: if intercrops can reduce weed levels compared to monocrops, and in the following sole crop; if intercrops have less disease than monocrops and impacts on diseases in the following crop; the grain yield/quality of…Read More
Improving fusarium head blight management in durum wheat in Saskatchewan
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is one of the most important diseases of wheat in Canada Even a small per hectare yield loss due to FHB results in the loss of tens of thousands of dollars per grower and millions of dollars collectively Multiple control strategies are required to control the disease…Read More
Development of a highly sensitive, specific and rapid detection system for stripe rust spores in the field
Read MoreDevelopment of an automated fungal detection system using MEMS-based spore sensor
Fungi cause more than $100 billion in crop damage worldwide annually Fungal infections are spread by the distribution of fungal spores via water flow, wind currents, and insects Detecting and monitoring spores will facilitate disease management strategies to reduce economic loss In this project the…Read More
