Congrats 🎉 to Dr. Bryan Mood on his new position as Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Soil Science @agbiousask! He previously held the position of Lecturer in the college. #USaskResearch

Supported by SPG, breeding research at @CDC_USask is advancing pea varieties with improved root rot resistance while maintaining strong agronomic traits. This work is key to expanding long‑term options for growers.

Through analysis of 20 years of Saskatchewan farmland insurance data on rotational choices in correlation with soil organic carbon levels, researchers Devin Serfas and Richard Gray found clear benefits in certain rotations @AlbertaGrains @SaskWheat @UofAALES @agbiousask

“We are one of the world’s leading universities in agricultural science, and choosing to be here is a decision I have never regretted.” A researcher in @agbiousask, Dr. Yongfeng Ai brings a wealth of knowledge in food science and technology to #USask. news.usask.ca/articles/commu…

From supporting events like EcoHack and joining the #USask Horticulture Club, to taking a campus sustainability tour or working in community gardens, there are many ways to learn about sustainability. #EarthDay news.usask.ca/articles/gener…

Mine waste can contain toxic elements harmful to human health and the environment. Researchers from @agbiousask @usask are using the CLS to study how plants native to the boreal forest - which is home to many old mines - interact with these materials: bit.ly/40J07F2
