Description
The Canola Agronomic Research Program (CARP) is funded by Alberta Canola, SaskCanola and the Manitoba Canola Growers Association and is administered by the Canola Council of Canada. It has supported canola agronomic research since 1985 and is beginning preparation for the 2018 program.
The objective of the CARP Program is to help canola growers increase yield, increase profitability and reduce production risk while enhancing sustainability through quality grower group-funded research and effective technology transfer. In order to achieve these goals, we are soliciting 2018 CARP Letters of Intent (LOIs) on behalf of the three provincial canola grower organizations.
The 2018 CARP research priorities document offers a list of priority areas for project applications:
- Disease
- Fertility
- Integrated Pest Management & Sustainability
- Stand Establishment
- Harvest and Storage Management
Notifications and requests for Full Proposals will be sent to applicants.
