Lead Researcher (PI): Xiben Wang
Institution: Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada
Total WGRF Funding: $84,000
Co-Funders: Ag Action Manitoba, Manitoba Crop Alliance
Start Date: 2021
Project Length: 2 Years
Objectives:

Quantify abundance, composition, and diversity of fungal and bacterial phylogenetic taxa in soils within diversified crop rotations. Quantify disease suppressive functional genes, phlD and prnD produced by soil bacterial communities.
