Agricultural research

On July 12, Lakeland College’s applied researchers in the crop division are welcoming members of the public onto the college’s research plots for Agronomy Day. It will be the first time Lakeland’s research team has hosted a live field day since 2019.

“Lakeland College’s crop applied research division has been busy since we were last able to host live tours and information sessions on our projects,” says Dr. François Paradis, Lakeland’s director of applied research. “We are excited to share the work we are doing to provide science-based knowledge and solutions to producers and industry to improve sustainability, profitability and efficiency in the agricultural sector.”

Ag researchIntended for producers, industry members, academic professionals, students, staff and general members of the public, Agronomy Day is designed to give visitors a first-hand, unbiased look at the projects underway at the college. The scientific trials give producers a look into the newest agronomy methods and products and how they can benefit their operations. Guests will tour canola, cereal and pulse research plots as well as attend information sessions led by members of the Canadian Canola Council, and the Alberta Pulse Growers.

Topics discussed will include:

  • Pulse regional variety trials (peas, soybeans, lentils, faba beans)
  • Cereals regional variety trials (wheat, oat, barley, triticale)
  • Integrating N fertilizer technologies with superior genetics to optimize protein in CWRS wheat
  • Maximizing barley yields while minimizing lodging
  • Nitrogen-fixing bacteria in Canola 

The event will be hosted on research plots on TWP road 505 and RR 80. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. before the group embarks on tours to various trials. Guests can RSVP here.

Lakeland’s Livestock Field Day will be held Aug. 25.
