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 georeferenced 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 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:
