A healthy wheat harvest supplies many industries Canadians rely on every day, from baking and malting to biofuel and livestock feed. 🌾
To help protect wheat production, two-time graduate and PhD candidate Riley McConachie developed WheatScanR, a free AI-powered app that uses smartphone photos to detect one of the most destructive diseases affecting wheat yields, Fusarium head blight.
By combining agriculture with artificial intelligence, this practical tool provides growers and researchers with valuable insights that support crop management decisions and help build a more resilient Canadian agri-food system.
