Spider mites are small, but mighty – mighty damaging. If conditions are right and the mites can get to work in the early R stages of soybean development, they can cause yield loss as high as 60 per cent without even being noticed. And, for areas that endured drought conditions in the summer, it’s easy to mistake spider mite damage from that of drought damage. So how can one diagnose spider mites properly?

Dry beans bring high value to growers. Now, growers and researchers are interested in evaluating dry beans grown under dryland conditions as opposed to irrigation, using solid seeded production systems as a potentially profitable crop diversification opportunity. Under irrigation, dry beans are grown using a wide row cropping system and specialized harvest equipment. However, the key to expansion in dryland will be to find an agronomic production system that allows farmers to use existing equipment.

The damaging clubroot disease prefers acidic soils – and the application of lime to increase soil pH might reduce the disease. Limestone is the main source for agricultural application to neutralize soil pH and improve plant growth. Recent research trials from the University of Alberta evaluated the potential of hydrated lime for reducing clubroot disease development under field conditions. Read more about how those trials played out.

Researchers are investigating a broad-spectrum plant defense approach as an alternative option for important crop diseases in Western Canada, where genetic plant resistance is lacking or chemical treatments are not sufficient. They are interested in determining whether natural defense priming agents may offer an alternative approach and/or work in combination with current strategies to fight against Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat and other diseases such as Ascochyta blight of chickpea and Aphanomyces root rot of pea and lentil.
