Services
Plant Gene Resources Of Canada
Ecological Crop Protection
Crop production and pest control practices for the Parkland
region including :
- forecasting infestations or grasshopper, wheat midge, Bertha
Armyworm, root maggots;
- surveys to identify emerging weed problems in crops;
- recommendation for disease management and weed control in
direct-seeded and zero-till field crops;
- biological and biorational weed and insect control strategies;
and
- progressive insect and plant pathogen containment facilities
and microbial fermentation lav for research and development of
biological control agents
Crop Utilization
Processes and products that expand the utilization of Prairie
crops. Capability and facilities to conduct comprehensive
investigations in natural product chemistry in support of
value-added opportunities with plants.
Oilseed And Forage Breeding
Elite germplasm of oilseed and forage crops. Capability to
isolate, characterize and manipulate enzymes and genes and
develop chemical and molecular markers in support of crop
variety and germplasm development.
Biotechnology
Optimization of plant architecture and plant physiology, in order
to sustain excellent yield growth characteristics and yield
potential under a range of biotic and environmental stresses.
