Robert Nurse, a research scientist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), has been working with AAFC colleagues Marie-Josée Simard and Stephen Darbyshire to investigate some aspects of woolly cupgrass and its control. 


Controlled drainage can increase yields

Researchers are suggesting there can be yield benefits to retaining some of the water escaping through drain tile during the growing season through the use of water flow control structures added to tile-drained systems.
