Alberta Pulse Growers (APG) is working to have pulses on every farm, on every plate. The APG app supports farmers by delivering timely, relevant news and agronomy information directly to their smartphones or other device throughout the year. APG has funded regional variety trials across the province for many years to ensure that our growers have current yield, standability and disease resistance information relevant to their own farms.

Alberta Pulse Growers's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 28 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
