Saskatchewan Pulse Growers Invests $2.3 Million in New Pulse Research, Leveraging $5.9 Million in Total Funding

Today, Saskatchewan Pulse Growers (SPG) announced funding for 19 pulse-specific research projects, co-funded through Saskatchewan’s Agriculture Development Fund (ADF). SPG’s total investment of over $2.3 million was leveraged through the ADF process for a total investment in pulse research and development of over $5.9 million. These research projects are two to four years in duration and study pulse crops, including pea, chickpea, and lentil. The research will evaluate new tools for integrated pest management of insects and diseases in pulses, mitigation strategies for root rot, and  nutrient uptake in chickpeas, as well as address improving pulse flours, developing pea-based beverages, new uses for pulse starches, and optimizing on-farm research.  A complete list of projects, including researchers and SPG’s investment, can be seen below.  Rapid introgression of aphid resistance into pea elite cultivars, Dr. Tom Warkentin, University of Saskatchewan (USask) – $86,045  Integrating sus
