Meet #USask grad student Hansanee Fernando!
Hansanee is supervised by Dr. Steve Shirtliffe and is a @NSERC_CRSNG scholarship recipient!

Major solar flare issues affecting all brands and quality of GNSS signals today!
WAAS all the way to RTK are affected!
Please RT for awareness!

Interested in wheat breeding and applying technology to make breeding more efficient? Dr. Adam Carter's lab at the Crop Development Centre in Canada is recruiting interested graduate students. Contact adam.carter@usask.ca to learn about potential opportunities.

This @CSIRO #Wheatcast national wheat yield forecast for 2024 is based on data to 1 Sept. Median yield expectation is 2.29 t/ha. An above average national yield is 'locked in'.
The map shows the variability of expected water-limited yields.

Amazing 100% incidence on susceptible checks in our renovated @CDC_USask FHB nursery in Saskatoon. Proud to be a part of the teams led by @CurtisPozniak and Dr Adam Carter wheat breeders who made this happen. We got great differential for breeding programs and research projects!

Evaluating fusarium head blight risk has never been easier. The new PrairieFHB tool allows you to assess risk for FHB, fusarium damaged kernel and DON toxin levels for cereal crops across the western prairies. Check out the map at prairiefhb.ca/

Happy to share the official launch of Prairieweeds.com! A prairie-focused resource for farmers, agronomists and industry members. Thanks to the funders and collaborators for making the website possible!
WGRF is excited to announce the official launch of Prairieweeds.com, a comprehensive online platform designed to support the Prairie Weed Monitoring Network (PWMN) through the Integrated Crop Agronomy Cluster.

We are looking for a graduate student to research mechanisms conferring herbicide resistance in wild oat, one of Canada's most troublesome agricultural weeds. Advertisement closes May 24!

Plant populations set the stage for the yield potential of a crop. Research shows each crop has an optimum plant density that producers should target and by using TKW, germination, and expected survival rates, producers can maximize their crops' potential: ow.ly/u1tK50RmlNF

Just a heads up... We confirmed a population of Group 14-resistant kochia in southern Alberta last year. It is known to occur in west-central Saskatchewan, southern Alberta and North Dakota. Growers/agronomists should pay particular attention to scouting after the PP burndown.

A team of researchers working to address herbicide resistance in weeds that affect crop plant growth has received nearly $1.5 million over five years in federal funding support. news.umanitoba.ca/um-led-res… @umanitoba @NSERC_CRSNG @NasemBadreldin @ProfAgronomy @agbiousask

It was a privilege to be a guest speaker that “wore a lot of hats” at the @agbiousask challenge where ag students competed on the challenge of educating consumers about agriculture. Thanks to organizer @alex__hinz who did a great job!

Well spring is coming soon, so I'm putting out the call again for producers/agronomists to send us soil samples from pea or lentil fields. We got great data last year, but we need more samples to build a robust root rot prediction model. @AlbertaPulse @SaskPulse @MbPulseGrowers

Satellite data and #AI used to detect 'dark' fishing vessels⬇️
By using 5 years’ worth of data from @copernicusEu
#Sentinel1 and #Sentinel2 along with GPS information and #ArtificialIntelligence, researchers from @GlobalFishWatch were able shed new light on the number of vessels at sea.
The study reveals that around 75% of the world's industrial fishing vessels have previously been ‘dark’ to public tracking systems: esa.int/Applications/Observi…
ALT The map shows individual vessels detected by Sentinel-1 during 2017–2021, matched (blue) to known vessel positions from AIS broadcasts and unmatched vessels (orange). The vessels were classified as fishing or non-fishing with a deep-learning model. The national exclusive economic zones are overlaid.
