Root rot in pulse crops and emotional dysregulation

Scientists are continuing to investigate root rot in pulse crops. It was particularly bad in pea and lentil crops in western Canada this year. Extending the crop rotation has been the only way to manage the disease once it is present in a field. Agriculture and Agri-food Canada Researcher Syama Chatterton has been studying this issue and is now recommending producers sample the soil for the presence of the spores. Dr. Chatterton will explain the latest work on aphanomyces. It's been a difficult year as we adjust to the realities of COVID-19 with the disruption of social events, the economy and interpersonal relationships. Fighting burnout and compassion fatigue is a real issue. Dr. Jody Carrington is child psychologist from Olds, Alberta. During a recent virtual presentation, she talked about emotional dysregulation, what causes it and the importance of face to face connection.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
