Understanding the effects of crop rotation on soil organic carbon stabilization
Soil organic matter (SOM) plays an important role in soil health and sustained soil productivity. Increasing soil carbon (C) storage is beneficial for soil health, mitigating rising atmospheric CO2 concentration and off-setting greenhouse gas emissions from crop production systems.
Glyphosate- or Auxinic-Resistant Kochia and Russian Thistle Prairie Surveys
By determining the rate and extent of evolotion or spread of GR or auxinic-resistant kochia since the initial baseline surveys we conducted, we can better advise producers of the risk, potential agronomic and economic impact, and best management practices to mitigate or manage GR or auxinic resistance kochia (and other species if found).
Understanding grain pneumatic conveying in seeding equipment
Air drills, which continue to be a popular choice for seeding many of the crops grown in the prairies, rely on a pneumatic conveying system and the passive division of seed through well-mixed, two-phase or gas-solid flows.
Balancing agronomic and environmental outcomes using enhanced efficiency nitrogen fertilizers
The bolded first paragraph from the report doc in Heading 4 text style. The first couple sentences of this summary will be used as the Excerpt in the research report database settings.
A simple and holistic approach to alleviate biotic and abiotic stresses in canola through silicon (Si) uptake
This project intends to fully characterize the properties of canola with respect to its instrinsic ability to absorb Si, means to improve its ability, and the benefits that canola could derive from this in terms of disease protections with special emphasis on the most important ones: blackleg, clubroot, and sclerotinia.
Revisiting nitrogen fertilizer recommendations for Saskatchewan: Are we measuring the right soil nitrogen pool?
Our project aim to develop a new soil N test that provides a rapid assessment of potentially mineralizable N, corrolated to crop yield outcomes, and can be used to improve fertilizer N recommendations.
Identification and assessment of the role of natural enemies in pest suppression in canola with specific reference to diamondback moth management
This project investigated natural enemies of diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) in the canola cropping system.
