Catching a landscape before it crashes
Using simulations to study landscape resilience
A University of Manitoba soil scientist is using AI and satellite data to explore how Prairie landscapes respond to long-term stress — and how they bounce back.
Ongoing research on chickpea-flax intercrop shows the mix reduces ascochyta blight
The intercrop works for reducing the disease, but Michelle Hubbard, an Agricutlure and Agri-Food Canada researcher, is still working on the why
Michelle Hubbard, an Agricutlure and Agri-Food Canada researcher, says chickpea-flax intercrop works to reduce ascochyta blight disease. She shares some theories on why.

New genetics could lead to more camelina acres on the Prairies
Saskatchewan research hopes to take both winter and spring camelina varieties to the next level
Both winter and spring camelina might be on the cusp of better varieties to help boost production of the oilseed in Western Canada.
Evolutionary origins of the potato revealed – and a tomato was involved
Study, which analyzed genomes from cultivated and wild potatoes, may improve future breeding
A new analysis of 450 genomes from cultivated potatoes and 56 genomes of wild potato species has revealed that the potato lineage originated through natural interbreeding between a wild tomato plant and a potato-like species in South America about 9 million years ago.
Field-by-field mapping could improve yield, productivity predictions
University of Saskatchewan researchers use field border mapping to collect data on yields, weeds
University of Saskatchewan researchers are using field border mapping to collect data on field variability, including problematic weeds, and to predict things like yields.
