Services
Organizations across agriculture, biotechnology, food production, and bio-industrial manufacturing depend on plants as sources of food, feed, fibre, biomaterials, and industrial feedstocks. Improving plant performance, understanding genetics, and managing biological interactions are critical to increasing productivity, reducing risk, and creating new commercial opportunities.
InnoTech Alberta helps clients evaluate plant varieties, develop biological products, investigate plant-pathogen interactions, and apply genomics and molecular technologies to support crop improvement, product development, and commercialization. Our expertise spans field research, controlled-environment studies, plant pathology, molecular biology, genomics, and bioinformatics.
Organizations work with InnoTech Alberta to:
Our work helps clients make informed decisions based on scientific evidence and real-world performance data.
We conduct agricultural and greenhouse research programs that evaluate plant genetics, management practices, crop-protection products, fertilizers, biological products, and emerging crop technologies.
Capabilities include:
Our team has extensive experience supporting traditional and specialty crops, including industrial hemp, flax, soybean, fava bean, lentil, quinoa, and other emerging agricultural opportunities.
Plant diseases remain one of the greatest challenges facing crop productivity and variety development.
Our capabilities support:
These services help clients better understand disease pressure, evaluate treatment effectiveness, and support the development of more resilient crops and crop-management strategies.
InnoTech Alberta offers pathology research support through the large-scale production of plant pathogens. This is to supplement agricultural research of plant protection products as well as varietal development for plant breeders and product development teams. Inoculum is applied to plants to evaluate disease resistance and to evaluate crop protection products such as fungicides.
Understanding genetics is essential for improving crop performance, disease resistance, environmental resilience, and breeding efficiency.
Our expertise includes:
These capabilities help clients accelerate breeding programs, understand biological communities, and make more informed product-development decisions.
InnoTech Alberta provides large-scale fungal inoculum production to support crop-protection research, disease-resistance screening, and breeding programs.
Applications include:
This capability supports agricultural innovators seeking reliable tools for evaluating plant performance under realistic disease conditions.
InnoTech Alberta holds the regulatory approvals required to conduct industrial hemp and cannabis research for commercial clients.
Our researchers support:
These activities support the development of plant-based products, feedstocks, fibres, and bio-industrial technologies.
Successful plant innovation requires more than field trials alone. Organizations increasingly need access to genomics, plant pathology, controlled environments, molecular biology, data analytics, and applied research expertise within a single integrated platform.
Clients benefit from:
Our goal is to help organizations develop better crops, biological products, and plant-based technologies while reducing technical and development risk.
