Root rot has become the top production challenge for Saskatchewan pea and lentil growers. SPG is investing in agronomic research to identify new management approaches, including biocontrol agents and soil amendments, that can reduce root rot risk under Saskatchewan growing conditions.
In this video, Dr. Michelle Hubbard from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) discusses research on biocontrol agents and soil amendments, including calcium- and silicon-based options, to reduce the risk of root rot in pulse crops.
