Episode 2: Enhancing durum genetic resistance to tan spot with Dr. Marwa Laribi and Sydney Wong

In this episode, Alberta Grains agronomy extension specialist Ruoxi Xia is joined by Dr. Marwa Laribi, research associate at the University of Alberta, and Sydney Wong, MSc candidate at the University of Alberta, to discuss tan spot in durum wheat and how current research is helping improve disease management for farmers. The conversation explores how tan spot impacts cereal crops across Western Canada, the role of genetic resistance and fungicides in disease control and what researchers are learning about the pathogen through surveys and pathotyping work.
