Scholars from the University of Manitoba and the University of Saskatchewan have secured funding from the Saskatchewan Pulse Growers to advance weed science and pulse crop research. UManitoba Assistant Professor Dr Dilshan Benaragama has received $686K to develop weed management strategies for pulse and soybean crops using herbicides, cultural practices, and drone spot spraying. USask Professor Dr Steve Shirtliffe was awarded $2.47M to create a collaborative kochia management framework for pulse crops.
