ADF research funding to benefit prairie producers

The federal and Saskatchewan governments will contribute $17.6 million for research that benefits farmers and ranchers.

The Agriculture Development Fund (ADF) provides the money needed for basic and applied agriculture research in crops, livestock, forages, processing, soils, environment, horticulture, and alternative crops.

Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit said $10.3 million would go towards 49 research projects.

Some examples include exploring the diversity of Fusarium root to species infecting pulse crops, insect response to climate change and ag inputs across the prairies, and a nutritionally balanced pulse-oilseed protein-based beverage.

What if you could better protect your soybean yield from a threat you may never see above ground?

Every year, we try to bring around 10 new trials to the PTI Farm, and a study of Nemasphere Soybeans is one of the new trials we've introduced this year. This new development from BASF is intended to provide an additional layer of protection against soybean cyst nematode (SCN).

We're excited to continue to monitor this, and we hope it's another tool growers can use to protect yield potential in the years ahead.
