Starting in May, prairie farmers will have access to the latest Fusarium head blight prediction tools for winter and spring wheat, durum wheat, and barley.
The new forecasting tool is based on more than five years of research and field-level proof-of-concept work supported by Alberta Grains, SaskWheat, SaskBarley, Manitoba Crop Alliance, University of Manitoba, and three Prairie governments.
Data is also obtained from multiple weather stations across the Prairies, but there are gaps in some areas of Saskatchewan that organizers hope to close by May 1, when data collection begins. I believe.
Paul Block, a senior research scientist in the Department of Soil Science at the University of Manitoba, said Saskatchewan farmers in certain regions who are willing to host a Methos weather station and share their data can do so for free if they are located in one of the following locations: He said there is a possibility that the Methos weather station could be used. Areas where data coverage is lacking.
Block said any prairie farmer with a Pestle/Methos station can voluntarily share their predictive tools and data. Interested producers can contact her Metos directly to share data. Anyone who wants to know if they qualify for a free station can email the following address, Block said. (email protected).
Please ask us about the background of the project and the mechanism of prediction.
