An agent-based simulation model of structural change in agriculture
(2008)
Like many North American agricultural regions, Saskatchewan has experienced significant fundamental structural changes in farming. Structural change encompasses evolution in distribution of farm sizes, land tenure and ...
Developmental regulation of cold hardiness in cereals
(2001-04-01)
An understanding of the genetic regulation of low-temperature (LT) tolerance is a prerequisite for the development of cold tolerant cultivars for high stress regions. The objectives of this study were to determine if ...
Spatial diffusion of economic impacts of integrated ethanol-cattle production complex in Saskatchewan
(1997-04-01)
Communities of different sizes in Saskatchewan seeking economic opportunities have shown interest in ethanol production because of the perceived benefits a region can capture from such a project. In spite of this ...
Searching for genes : public and private spillovers in agricultural research
(2000-12-01)
Crop research has undergone a major transformation in North America and many other parts of the word. The introduction of biotechnology and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) alter the nature of research products, which ...
The nutritive value of high fiber canola meal for ruminants
(1996-04-01)
Five trials were conducted to assess the nutritive value of high fiber canola meal (HFCM) as a protein supplement for ruminants. Trial one determined the chemical composition of HFCM relative to low fiber canola meal ...
From the ground up : an agent-based model of regional structural change
(2005-09-16)
The Saskatchewan farm sector is a dynamic system that is faced with the reality of farm consolidation and other structural adjustments. While structural adjustment may result in increased productivity at the farm-level, ...
Impact of long-term cultivation on the status of cadmium in chernozemic soils
(2001-09-01)
Cadmium (Cd) from the soil can accumulate in our bodies via the consumption of our crops and cause serious health problems. While it has been documented that long-term cultivation affects physical and chemical properties ...
Rooting pattern and seed yield of selected pinto bean genotypes under different levels of soil moisture
(1997-09-01)
Dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is currently being introduced for rainfed production in the Dark Brown soil zone in Saskatchewan. Insufficient water is one of the major factors limiting crop production in this soil zone. ...
Molecular characterization of waxy mutants in hexaploid wheat
(1999-12-01)
Recent research has focused on the molecular characterization of null waxy (Wx), 'Wx-A1b, Wx-B1b', and 'Wx-D1b', alleles that produce no detectable Wx proteins in the endosperm starch of allohexaploid wheat (Triticum ...
Synchronization of nitrogen availability and plant nitrogen demand : nitrogen and non-nitrogen effects of lentil to subsequent wheat crops
(2000-01-01)
A study was conducted to determine (1) the N contribution of lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) and its effect on subsequent wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) crops in the Dark Brown and Brown soil zones of Saskatchewan, (2) ...
