Western Producer: Producers needed for grain bin insect study

August 22, 2024 — 

Researchers from the University of Manitoba want to know about bug problems in stored grain.

It’s the fourth year of a Canadian Centre for Grain Storage Research project on grain pests. The centre is located at the university and the insect research project is part of the Prairie Bio Vigilance network.

The network hopes to proactively identify invasive species of pests, disease and weeds across the Prairies, facilitating quicker response. Research is wholly based on farm volunteer samples.
