Name of creator
Administrative history
The Alberta Special Crops and Horticultural Research Centre was formed when the Alberta Horticultural Research Centre both added a soil and water program and transferred out several existing programs to the Alberta Tree Nursery and Horticulture Centre and the Crop Protection Branch. The branch transferred to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development when that Ministry was formed in 1992.
Name of creator
Administrative history
The branch was transferred from Agriculture when the Ministry changed to Agriculture, Food and Rural Development in 1992. In a reorganization of the Plant Industry Division in 1995, the Centre was renamed the Crop Development Centre-South and its programs were assigned to new branches. Although the Centre remained an agricultural research facility, it no longer served as an operational branch.
