CWB Offers Matching Funds For Barley Research
WINNIPEG - Feb 2/06 - SNS -- The Canadian Wheat Board committed up to CDN $300,000 in matching fund to researchers at the Brandon Research Centre who are working on fusarium head blight in barley.
CWB support is contingent on matching funds being received from other sources. So far, funding has also been committed by AAFC's Matching Investment Initiative and the Crop Development Centre at the University of Saskatchewan, supported by Saskatchewan's Agriculture Development Fund.
Lead project scientist, Dr. Bill Legge, said program funding to date has resulted in increased capacity for barley nurseries and more testing for deoxynivalenol (DON), which is the mycotoxin produced by this disease.
"Increased capacity improves the accuracy of our tests and, therefore, improves the accuracy in selecting and advancing fusarium-resistant lines of barley," said Dr. Legge.
