The BRDC conducts research on crop production, including fertilization requirements of crops, ecology and control of weeds, biology and management of crop diseases, genetics and breeding of barley, management of pastures and cattle, land resource management, and impacts of agriculture on the environment.

Brandon University

Over the past number of years, the landscape of research activities at Brandon University has changed and grown. Five Canada Research Chairs have been recruited and new appointments in a variety of departments have brought new research agendas to the campus. The University’s commitment to building research capacity has also led to the establishment of a number of new research laboratories created to enhance the research experiences of both faculty and students. These include: Environment Science Laboratory, Cell Biology and Neuroscience Laboratory, Functional Genomics Laboratory, Mycology Research Laboratory and the Archaeological Residue Analysis Laboratory

Across the Brandon University campus there are state-of-the-art research laboratories and facilities with high calibre equipment.
