Proudly Canadian
Dr. Syama Chatterton, a research scientist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, offered a presentation at Manitoba Ag Days on root rot in pulse crops. In a negative ‘two for one,’ attendees may have been surprised to learn of a connection between root rot and another well-known soil pathogen: fusarium. In this video, Chatterton talks about some of the latest findings into aphanomyces and the one practice growers have in their toolbox to keep root rot from developing in their fields.
Manitoba Agriculture entomologist John Gavloski spoke at St. Jean Farm Days on Jan. 10 to remind attendees which insects were standouts in 2023, which pest insects he’s keeping a close eye on in 2024, and more importantly, mitigation advice for crop producers heading into the growing season.
