Canola Agronomic Research Program (CARP)
Description
The Alberta Canola Producers Commission, Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission, and the Manitoba Canola Growers encourage cutting edge, innovative research to enable the discovery and creation of value for the canola industry.
The Canola Agronomic Research Program (CARP), established in 1985, is a collaborative research funding initiative among the three provincial canola grower group commissions. The primary goal of this research program is to help canola farmers increase yield and profitability, reduce production risks, and enhance sustainability with effective technology transfer. To achieve these goals, they are soliciting 2022 CARP letters of intent (LOIs) on behalf of the three provincial canola grower associations and the WGRF. The Western Grains Research Foundation (WGRF) has once again expressed interest in participating with the canola grower organizations in potential funding for projects aligned with their research priorities.
Research priorities in the disciplines of agronomy, breeding, physiology, and integrated pest management, to name a few, have been identified through consultation with canola industry steering committees, the canola value chain, government and academic partners, and insights from the annual Canola Discovery Forum.
The research priority files below provide a comprehensive list of priority areas for project submissions as well as the Canola Council of Canada’s priorities for research and innovation:
- Alberta Canola Producers Commission
- Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission
- Manitoba Canola Growers Association
- Western Grains Research Foundation
- Canola Council of Canada’s Crop Production & Innovation Research Priorities
