The Crop Development Centre is one of the leading developers of field crop varieties in Canada, having developed more registered cultivars than any other single breeding station in the country. The CDC combines traditional plant breeding and molecular technologies, resulting in, continuous genetic improvement in bread wheat, durum, barley, oat, flax, pea, lentil, chickpea, bean, fababean, and canaryseed, for the economic benefit of western Canada's farmers and agri-food industry.
