Pulse Canada 2022-23 Annual Report

I am pleased to present members with Pulse Canada’s 2022-23 Annual Report. As we reflect on the past year, it is evident our organization has achieved significant milestones and tackled some big challenges thanks to the dedication and collaborative efforts of our members, partners, and staff. 

Canada’s pulse industry is experiencing dynamic growth and transformation. As you will see throughout this report, it is our collective commitment to innovation, sustainability, and business-forward policy making that has propelled us forward. Over the past year, Pulse Canada played a pivotal role in advocating for the interests of our members and representing the pulse sector at both the national and international levels. 

This year, the Board of Directors developed a new strategic plan, building off the work done from our 25 by 2025 initiative. Our vision is simple – a world where Canadian pulses are the preferred choice. To make this vision a reality, we are focusing on six key areas to help pulses pave the way to a healthier and more sustainable future with solutions for every link in the value chain.

Field Talk Friday | Dr. John Murphy | Root Exudates, Soil Biology, and How Plants Recruit Microbes

Most of us spend our time managing what we can see above ground—plant height, leaf color, stand counts, and yield potential. But the deeper you dig into agronomy, the more you realize that some of the most important processes driving crop performance are happening just millimeters below the surface.

In this episode of Field Talk Friday, Dr. John Murphy continues the soil biology series by diving into one of the most fascinating topics in modern agronomy: root exudates and the role they play in shaping the microbial world around plant roots.

Roots are not passive structures simply pulling nutrients out of the soil. They are active participants in the underground ecosystem. Plants constantly release compounds into the soil—sugars, amino acids, organic acids, and other molecules—that act as both energy sources and signals for soil microbes.
