Wild oat is among the most serious grassy weeds on the Prairies with losses as high as $500 million annually. As a tool to help farmers manage this issue, the Resistant Wild Oat Action Committee (RWOAC) was formed in partnership with the Canadian Weed Science Society (CWSS). The goal of RWOAC is to educate and engage farmers to develop and adopt approaches to managing wild oats. Sask Wheat is a proud funding partner of this initiative.
Dr. Breanne Tidemann joins Sask Wheat Agronomy Extension Specialist, Carmen Prang, to discuss wild oat and the RWOAC. Breanne is a research scientist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) in Lacombe, Alta. Her accomplishments include, but are not limited to, a B.Sc. in Biological Sciences, a M.Sc. in Plant Sciences and a Ph.D. in Plant Sciences. These were all completed at the University of Alberta, where her projects focused on weed science and weed management. Breanne started with AAFC in 2016 as a Weed Scientist/Field Agronomist. Breanne is currently focusing her research efforts on integrated weed management, weed biology, harvest weed seed control and managing herbicide resistant weeds. She also conducts research on agronomic decisions for crop production and weed control.
