Plot to Field

Plot to Field Program Overview

Plot to Field is a field scale, province-wide research program that is fully funded and directed by Alberta Pulse Growers Commission. All research in this network is based on three important principles:

Teamwork – conducted on-farm with farmers, tag teaming with agronomists, scientists, and Alberta Pulse Growers Commission’s staff
Science based and repeatable – produces data that is unbiased, accurate and robust, conducted with utmost scientific relevance so that the experiment is replicable on your own farm using our protocol
Proactive – delivers results to guide management decisions and improve productivity and profitability of pulses across the province

Plot to Field Program Objectives

To conduct field scale research that is applicable and relevant to producers.
To build scientifically sound research protocols that test small plot research results on a farm-by-farm basis allowing for scientific “proofing” of small plot results.
To provide ‘in situ’ extension of research results.
To enhance the ability of pulse producers and agronomists to apply scientific learnings.
