Not a big fan of rust diseases in wheat? Thankfully, researchers are analyzing more than one method to beat them. They're not only searching for new resistance genes, but also tweaking defeated resistance genes to make them effective again.

Saskatchewan producers wrapped up harvest a few weeks ago with most crops yielding above the 10-year average. Exceptions were durum, oats, canola and mustard. While current topsoil moisture conditions are better than this time last year, growers are still hoping for rain and snow.

Canadian agri-food producers support the Senate Foreign Affairs and International Trade Committee's recommendation for the amendment of Bill C-282. While the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance continues to push for the rejection of the Bill altogether, the proposed amendment will remove risk from Canada's relationship with key trading partners, including the U.S.

Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation RJ Sigurdson commends Albertan producers for their dedication to growing quality crops. Harvest was completed quickly and efficiently due to favourable weather conditions in August and early September. Final yield estimates in the South, North West and Peace regions were slightly above average and yields in the Central and North East regions were below average.

When it comes to getting a better yield potential, hybrids with Bayer ® traits are delivering impressive numbers. Since 2020, they’ve produced a 6% bushel/acre increase*. Don’t miss out on that all-important yield. Make sure you’re growing TruFlex ® or TruFlex ® LibertyLink ® canola hybrids from Bayer.
*Data source: Bayer advanced canola hybrids versus WCCRCC checks (InVigor 255PC and Pioneer 45H33), 2020-2024, N=968

Rust diseases are one of the major challenges for wheat production. While wheat varieties with good disease resistance packages to control rust diseases are currently available to growers, the spread and emergence of new pathogen races can overcome genetic resistance. Wheat breeders and researchers continue to search for novel genes for resistance to rusts, bacterial leaf streak and tan spot.

Stripe rust has caused yield loss for Prairie wheat growers since the early 2000s. New resistance genes have traditionally been found by searching for resistance in related plants, then crossbreeding cousin plants with wheat. Researchers are testing a more efficient method of finding resistance genes by tweaking known, defeated, resistance genes to make them effective again.

Cover crops can help with compacted soils, boosting soil organic matter, managing weeds and suppressing diseases like Fusarium root and crown rot in soybean and barley, according to a recently published study based on research at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) Charlottetown. In this episode of Inputs, Eastern editor Alex Barnard discusses the study with two of the researchers.
