Biographical history

Robin Morrall was born in 1940 in the United Kingdom. He received a B. A. (Honours) in botany from Cambridge University in 1962, and received his M.A. in soil microbiology at the University of Saskatchewan in 1964. After working as a plant protection officer with the Canada Department of Agriculture in London, Ontario, Morrall returned to Saskatchewan in 1965, becoming full professor in 1980. He also served as adjunct professor in the Department of Plant Sciences for the University of Manitoba. Robin served as a faculty member of the Department of Biology at the University of Saskatchewan for over thirty years. His work on plant diseases has been recognized nationally and internationally. His pioneering research laid the foundation for controlling sclerotina stem rot in canola and ascochyta blight in lentils, chickpeas and field peas in western Canada. Continuing long after his retirement, Robin undertook extensive off-campus work to farmers concerning diseases and their management in their crops. He served as President of Canadian Phytopathological Society in 1993-94. His post-retirement honours include: Fellow of Canadian Phytopathological Society (2000) for outstanding service to the Society and to the profession of plant pathology; CPS Award for Achievements in Plant Diseases Management (2004); and most recently, induction to the Saskatchewan Agricultural Hall of Fame (2016). He passed away in 2018.
