Total WGRF Funding:
$50,675
Co-Funders:
Agriculture Development Fund, Saskatchewan Pulse Growers
Start Date:
2024
Project Length:
3 Years
Objectives:
Ten bacterial isolates with activity against A. euteiches were identified in a previous project.
In this project:
1) Determine the secondary metabolites they produce.
2) Evaluate their efficacy in vitro and in greenhouse with field pea.
3) Begin formulation development of top four biocontrol candidates.
