Ongoing Projects
The significant number of plant establishment, nutrient management, integrated pest management and genetics projects that are still in progress cover topics ranging from nitrogen-fixing bacteria, to verticillium stripe, to the development of climate ready canola. Canola growers contribute to these projects through their levy payments to SaskOilseeds, Alberta Canola and Manitoba Canola Growers. Many projects also have funding from other commodity groups, provincial sources (such as Saskatchewan’s Agriculture Development Fund) and other Prairie-wide funders, including Western Grains Research Foundation and Alberta’s Results Driven Agriculture Research.
