Welcome to the new Prairie Crop Disease Monitoring Network Blog!

The Prairie Crop Disease Monitoring Network (PCDMN) is a coordinated field crop disease monitoring program for the prairies. The PCDMN’s main focus is to provide timely information about crop diseases on the Prairies and to highlight effective disease management approaches.  The Blog is designed to help the PCDMN share disease information with the Canadian agricultural industry as it becomes available.  

The PCDMN first took shape under the Integrated Crop Agronomy Cluster (2018-2023) and is funded through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership. The Cluster is led by the Western Grains Research Foundation in partnership with the Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission, Alberta Wheat Commission, Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission, Alberta Pulse Growers, Saskatchewan Pulse Growers, Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers, Manitoba Wheat and Barley Growers Association, and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.  Read more on our "About Us" page.
