New Brunswick Soil & Crop Improvement Association
The soil and crop movement in New Brunswick began in 1977 through the formation of several local associations. The number of locals grew, and a provincial board comprised of two directors from each local was established -- New Brunswick Soil and Crop Improvement Association.
We have eight active locals: Northeast (CCNE), Northshore (Bathurst), Moncton, Chignecto (Sackville), Kings County, Central (Fredericton), Northwest (Edmundston) and Carleton County. Directors at both the local and provincial levels are volunteers. Annual membership fees are set by the provincial board with a portion remitted to the locals.

If you're growing winter wheat this season, you might start seeing some heads begin to emerge in your fields. emergence is your sign to keep a close eye on your plant staging for infection risk of grain kernel diseases. Fusarium head blight, or FHB, is a disease that produces a mycotoxin that can negatively affect feed and milling quality, and can be controlled at flowering. Get in touch with your local coordinator for more info on high risk conditions, and what you can do to control this disease.

Si vous cultivez du blé d'hiver cette saison, vous remarquerez peut-être que les épis commencent à pointer dans vos champs. L'émergence est le signe qu'il faut surveiller de près le stade de développement de vos plantes afin d'évaluer le risque d'infection par des maladies du grain. La fusariose de l'épi, ou FHB, est une maladie qui produit une mycotoxine pouvant nuire à la qualité fourragère et alimentaire et qui peut être maîtrisée au stade de la floraison. Contactez votre coordinateur local pour obtenir plus d'informations sur les conditions à haut risque et sur les mesures que vous pouvez prendre pour lutter contre cette maladie.
