End Of Grain Rust

Ingenious - Ingénieux

The fight with blight. Each of us could only hope to enjoy the definitive professional success of Margaret Newton. In 1925, Canada’s minister of agriculture appointed her to manage the newly opened Dominion Rust Research Laboratory at the University of Manitoba and gave her the task of defeating grain rust. At the time, this pathogenic fungus was a plague of the nation’s harvest, destroying some thirty million bushels of wheat each year. When she retired some twenty years later, that figure was

Duck Decoy

Ingenious - Ingénieux

The hunter’s secret weapon. The hunter’s most formidable weapon is deception. The Cree and Ojibway peoples of Canada’s Great Lakes relied on it for thousands of years. They used reeds, cattails, bulrushes, tamarack, and other plants to make remarkably lifelike floating and stationary decoys that lured game birds and waterfowl to roosting areas. Once there, they were within reach of the nets, snares, arrows, and spears of the Aboriginal hunters. European settlers and then generations of

Megaphone

Ingenious - Ingénieux

The best way to call a moose. Why change something that’s worked perfectly for thousands of years? Today’s moose hunters have no reason to adapt the megaphones used by their Ojibway and Attiamek predecessors. Made out of birchbark, bound with spruce roots, and secured with leather straps, these devices amplify and direct the sound of the moose call, attracting the creatures to the hunters. While today’s versions may be made out of different materials - plastic and whatnot - the enduring

Teenage inventors

Teen could bring clean water to millions

Rachel Brouwer is featured in Innovation150’s national public awareness campaign. Learn more. Rachel Brouwer isn’t old enough to drive, but she’s got her own billboard, her own Wikipedia page, and an asteroid named after her. The asteroid dedication – in addition to a $1,500 prize – was for coming in second at the 2016 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair after winning a gold medal at the 2015 Canada-Wide Science Fair. It’s all because of an invention of Brouwer’s that could provide

Dr. Linda Hall Innovates Herbicides, One Crop at a Time

ASTech Foundation

To be successful, the cropping industry requires constant innovation from growers, machinery companies, chemical producers and crop breeders. In this working organism, the role of troubleshooter falls on the shoulders of University of Alberta professor and 2016 ASTech Award for Innovation in Agriculture Finalist, Dr. Linda Hall. “My work is anticipating and trying to solve the problems of herbicide resistant crops and weeds,” says Hall. This role is especially important because genetically

Dr. Robert Graf Creates Winter Wheat in Western Canada

ASTech Foundation

Growing crops that survive our harsh western Canadian winters might seem like an impossible task, but 2016 ASTech Award Winner for Innovation in Agriculture Dr. Robert Graf has been helping make this a reality through his work with winter wheat cultivars. Winter wheat production in western Canada has undergone tremendous growth since 1999, when Graf moved to Alberta to start working on the crop. From around 200,000 acres, winter wheat has grown to more than one million acres in 2014. Part of the

Better beer is in the barley

Canada Foundation for Innovation

A genetic discovery in wheat may help produce superior barley and tastier beer. By Malorie Bertrand Beer foam stability and off-flavours may not be top of mind for this patio season’s revellers, but it is a concern for beer brewers. Fortunately for them, they have Surinder Singh of McGill University’s plant science department on their side. The PhD student is applying what he’s learned from a groundbreaking wheat project he worked on with CFI-funded researcher, Jaswinder Singh (not related), to

Researchers at the Sainsbury Laboratory

Flipping the switch

Queen's University

Researchers at the Sainsbury Laboratory, including Canadian biologist Jacqueline Monaghan, have uncovered a previously unknown means by which plants are able to regulate how their immune systems respond to pathogens. A group of small peptides, referred to as RALFs (Rapid ALkalinization Factors), serve to dampen immune signaling – preventing further response once the infection has been dealt with by the plant’s immune system. The finding could pave the way to improve the immune systems of food

Canola: a Canadian innovation we can all be proud of.

Canola Council of Canada

Canola is a Canadian invention that has come a long way since its introduction over four decades ago. In the late 1950s, Canadian scientists, Dr. Baldur Stefansson and Dr. Keith Downey, began using traditional plant breeding to eliminate the undesirable components of rapeseed and create one of the world’s healthiest culinary oils. The new plant was named canola, a contraction of “Canadian” and “ola” meaning oil. Now, it’s our country’s most valuable crop, contributing $19.3 billion each year to

Albert Leyenhorst and his son, Logan

Research builds my agriculture community

Canada Foundation for Innovation

New ways of processing grain by-products to make feedstocks that are better for milk production will benefit both grain and dairy farmers across Canada. Albert Leyenhorst and his son, Logan, are second and third generation dairy and cash crop farmers in Dalmeny, Sask. The navy blue silos and red roofs of their farm can be spotted from a great distance; their purebred Holstein herd, and producing quality milk and strong, healthy cows, is their shared passion. To stay ahead of the curve, the
