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.
