S3.E1 – The Evolution of Disease Research Part 1: Roots of Resistance
The first episode of Season 3 of SaskBarley’s podcast is the first in a three-part series exploring the past, present, and future of barley disease research.
Through conversations with cornerstones of the disease research industry, Randy Kutcher (CDC) and Kelly Turkington (AAFC), we look at the foundations of barley disease research, how the work has evolved over time, and why it continues to matter for producers, agronomists, and the broader barley value chain.
You’ll hear insights into how research, collaboration, and industry knowledge help support stronger barley production and better decision-making across the sector. Whether you’re a grower, agronomist, or simply interested in the future of barley, this episode sets the stage for the conversations to come in the rest of the series.
