Soil and water are connected in #CdnAg. Inputs like fertilizer can impact the water ecosystems that we rely on every day.
For #ScienceLiteracyWeek, we celebrate the innovators with @AgMuseum who protect our ecosystems, like #PEI #GCAggie scientist, Dr. Yefang Jiang.

Fusarium head blight is a scary disease for #CdnAg cereal grain farmers because it’s hard to detect. Thankfully, a new #GCAggie and @AtlanticGrain developed forecasting web tool is helping Maritime farmers remove the guesswork. Learn more: agriculture.canada.ca/en/science/s...
Many pests are a nuisance to us and farmers, but did you know that some insects are pests to other insects and weeds? #GCAggie entomologist, Dr. Christine Noronha, studied several species of Carabid beetles, or ground beetles, on Prince Edward Island. 🪲 1/
#GCAggie, @ualberta.bsky.social, and @uwaterloo.ca researchers are hoping that a nature-based solution will be an “udder” success for turning dairy farm wastewater into irrigation water for cattle feed crops on #ABAg dairy farms 🐮: agriculture.canada.ca/en/node/3936 #WorldMilkDay
The research of #GCAggie Dr. Andrew McKenzie-Gopsill on #PrinceEdwardIsland is helping farmers reduce weed germination by 60 to 95% by using the weed seed crusher during potato harvest: agriculture.canada.ca/en/science/s...

Our #GCAggie researchers and the Pye Centre in #Labrador have a cost-effective method for #CdnAg to improve soils using passively aerated static #compost systems made with local organic materials and perforated piping. 💩 🍃 📦 #ICAW2025 agriculture.canada.ca/en/science/s...
Extending the growing season is crucial for northern #CdnAg farmers. Our #GCAggie scientist, Dr. Julia Wheeler, discovered that “mini greenhouse” technology and alternative potato varieties can help! 🥔

#GCAggie scientists pinpoint important disease resistant genes in diploid potatoes (two sets of each chromosome), marking the first step toward breeding common scab resistant potato varieties for #CdnAg. Learn more: ow.ly/OLn350V7AwC 🥔
Did you know that #NL is home to the world’s only dedicated outdoor field research site for potato wart?
Across the country, our #GCAggie scientists are using modern genomics and potato breeding to combat this disease. 🥔🔬

A photo of a person with a quote bubble that says, “I am very interested in understanding how berry plants adapt to different growing regions across Canada, including in specialized growing systems like greenhouses and vertical farms. My favourite part of being a scientist is working outside on the farm and learning about all of the different flavours that berries can have.”
Dr. Beatrice Amyotte is a research scientist at @AAFC_Canada in #NS and her job is pretty sweet! She works in genetics and berry breeding to develop new berry varieties.
Recently, she collaborated on sensory research: agriculture.canada.ca/en/science/s...
