Root rot has become the top production challenge for Saskatchewan pea growers. SPG is investing in breeding research to develop pea varieties with improved root rot resistance while maintaining the yield, agronomic performance, and quality that growers expect.
In this video, Dr. Tom Warkentin from the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre explains how breeding programs are advancing pea lines that combine partial root rot resistance with strong yield, agronomic traits, and quality.
