C. A. Zavitz Collection (University of Guelph)
Charles Zavitz recorded the first yield tests on cereal grains at Guelph in 1887. He was the first to introduce soybeans to Canada and made it a commercial crop. He also established alfalfa as a premier forage crop. The Robertson Associate Award was inaugurated in 1931 as a memorial to Dr. James W. Robertson, founder and first president of the Canadian Seed Growers' Association.
