WINNIPEG — Wheat growers in North Dakota have altered how they use fungicides to control fusarium head blight.

Many farmers now apply fungicides later, after flowers first appear on wheat heads, to cut the risk of fusarium damaged kernels (FDK) and reduce levels of deoxynivalenol (DON) in cereals.

Western Canadian farmers should make a similar switch, says a plant pathologist with Agriculture Canada in Alberta.

Right now, some agronomists and grower groups say the ideal fungicide timing starts when 75 per cent of wheat heads are fully emerged.

Marisza Zembik, also known as Marisza Cottam, appeared in Airdrie Court of Justice this morning on a charge of fraud over $5,000, following a 2023 investigation into her now-closed bridal business.

Calgary city officials told council this week that last summer's water main rupture overwhelmed key parts of their emergency response — with confirmed impacts on Airdrie and other regional customers who depend on the same water system.
