From crop diagnostics and disease management to variety selection and herbicide stewardship, this year’s Alberta Crop Diagnostic Days and WCI Field Day offers growers practical, research-driven learning.
When the growing season is in full swing, few things are more valuable than seeing research in the field and talking directly with the people behind it.
That’s exactly what the field day aims to deliver when it returns to the Western Crop Innovations (WCI) research farm in Lacombe on July 28, bringing together growers, agronomists, researchers, and industry specialists for a day focused on practical solutions that can be put to work immediately.
The annual event has become a summer fixture for Alberta producers, regularly drawing about 300 attendees eager to sharpen their diagnostic skills, explore new research, and stay ahead of production challenges.
The program covers a wide range of topics affecting farms today. Featured sessions include integrated management of herbicide injury and wild oats, disease resistance and evolving pathogen populations, forage opportunities for triticale, selecting barley genetics for variable growing conditions, and new research examining how different wheat and barley varieties respond to in-crop fungicide applications.
