Linking soil NIR measurements, fertility and crop yields

Tools for predicting soil productivity and estimating crop yields are improving, but addressing field and soil variability can still be a challenge. Researchers are interested in developing tools that would link soil near infrared (NIR) measurements, fertility and crop yields together with digital agriculture and big data to improve predictability of soil productivity and profitability. » Learn more...
 
Speeding up screening

Fusarium is a major economic threat for cereal grains because of significant yield loss and the production of harmful mycotoxins that can limit the end-use of harvested grain. Breeding for low DON concentration in cereal crops is an important control measure for the disease, and researchers, like the University of Saskatchewan’s Randy Kutcher, have developed new innovations to speed up screening and detection. » Learn more...
