Winter wheat “Conserve and Win” demonstration and development program

Abstract

The winter wheat “Conserve and Win” demonstration and development program is a continuing project that was initiated in 1991 with the objective of developing management packages and demonstrating production systems that allow Saskatchewan farmers to realize the full production and conservation potential of winter wheat in an integrated cropping system of this program focused on the east-central region of Saskatchewan. The first three years Sixty-five winter wheat fields were monitored throughout the crop year and the limitations and opportunities of a wide range of production systems were identified. Farmers who followed recommended production practices had a high level of success and were able to clearly establish that there is a good production potential for winter wheat in the target region.
