Summary
The federal government announced up to $571,521 over three years for Céréla Inc. to use AI in developing barley and soybean varieties. The research will target barley resistant to Fusarium head blight and soybeans without anti-trypsin factors, with the aim of speeding up crop breeding for Eastern Canadian conditions. The project is still at the research stage; the announcement gives no date for commercial availability or estimate of crop performance.
