Finding seed … simplified!
The digitized, mobile-friendly Interactive SaskSeed® Guide modernizes the search for pedigreed seed. This new tool allows users to tailor their search to information relevant to their local area, selecting specific characteristics, and generating a report that shows the varieties best suited for their regional growing conditions, as well as additional information about the varieties. From this report, when a variety is selected, the breeder, distributor, and pedigreed seed growers who have that certified seed available – along with a geo-referenced map – are shown.
Through this tool, you can also access the articles of printed Varieties of Grain Crops, as well as download a copy of the printed SaskSeed® Seed Guide.
This project was funded in part by the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, a five-year federal-provincial-territorial initiative.
Regional Variety Testing in Saskatchewan relies on support from many organizations, including:
