Both SaskCanola and Saskatchewan Flax Development Commissions have expressed an interest in having humic acid fertilizer studies conducted. This attention originated from their producer boards and members and was suggested to Agri-ARM as a potential ADOPT demonstration.
This proposed research aims to study new resistance modes of action based on S genes in canola and potentially develop novel R resource for sustainable management of blackleg in western Canada. This study will tap into a unique diversity-rich TILLING canola population…
Clubroot is a devastating disease putting at risk the Canadian canola industry. Nowadays clubroot management heavily relies on the use of clubroot resistant varieties. However, the current reality is that the resistance is being rapidly overcome by P. brassicae1, calling for new and well understood sources of resistance.
The project will identify new diversity that ensures the long term sustainability of the canola crop; specifically it will target traits that have been linked to generating a more environmentally aware and climate responsive plant, through increasing yields…
The main objective of this project is to use genome-wide association studies to identify resistance in B. napus against the Verticillium longisporum pathogen, which will directly provide resistance sources for breeding programs in the control of verticillium stripe disease.
Maximizing crop yields given the weather variability that is commonly experienced in the Canadian Prairie is an important component of improving economic potential of grain cropping.
The outputs and deliverables of a PCDMN companion ADF and AFC project encompass a wider range of stakeholders including researchers, extension staff, producers, agronomists/consultants, producer groups, industry, and provincial and national organizations related to plant disease monitoring.
There has been a dramatic increase in canola crushing capacity in Saskatchewan over the last 15 years and recently an additional 3 million tonnes of annual crush capacity have been announced in Regina.
Saskatchewan produces 11 million MT of canola, of which only 4 million MT are processed here, producing approximately 2.2 million MT of CM (considering the oil content of canola as high as 45%).
Saskatchewan soils are among the lowest in North America with respect to available P levels. Reasons for this observation includes uncontrollable factors such as soil parent material, however, present agricultural practices have also contributed to low soil P values.
The proposed research we propose builds on an approach that promises to significantly enhance current knowledge of the mechanisms by which the clubroot pathogen causes disease and provides a new functional genomics tool to the research community.
New knowledge of the impact of clubroot infection on the diversity and composition of the root and rhizosphere microbiome in canola. Clubroot is one of the biggest threats to the canola industry in Western Canada…
