Early flowering, short internode length, and double podding as components of early maturity in chickpea
(2003-02-18)Late maturity, resulting from the indeterminate nature of the crop, is a critical production constraint in chickpea (Kumar and Abbo, 2001). In western Canada, the chickpea crop is often killed by fall frost while seeds/pods ... -
Early maturity strategies in chickpea: pyramiding key genetic traits
(2005-02-17)Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a highly indeterminate species which continues to grow and produce pods through fall, especially in cooler and wetter seasons. This exposes the crop to frost damage resulting in reduced ... -
Early supplies of available nitrogen to the seed-row as affected by fertilizer placement
(2001-02-22)A field experiment was conducted at Star City, (legal location SW6-45-16-W2); Saskatchewan, Canada from May to June 2000, to measure N and P supply rates from fertilizer band to canola seed row. Ion exchange resin membrane ... -
Eco-physiological response to fertility and landform for spring wheat under rainfed environment in hummocky terrain, Saskatchewan, Canada
(1993-02-25)The experiment was made throughout the 1992 growing season on upper and lower slope positions at a site near Lanigan, Saskatchewan. Soil water reserves to 120 cm on the footslope was 38% more than on the shoulder at the ... -
An economic analysis of farmer decisions with respect to soil erosion in Saskatchewan
(1989-02-16)A dynamic economic model is used to evaluate the far.m decision process with respect to the intensity of cropping in the Brown Soil Zone of Saskatchewan. Based on this model, and several agronomic relationships estimated ... -
Economic and risk considerations of nitrogen fertilizer use in the Brown Soil Zone
(1992-02-20)Optimum use of nitrogen fertilizer requires consideration of factors that influence plant response and those that govern the decisions of producers. The response of spring wheat to soil moisture and N fertilizer was assessed ... -
Economic assessment of pulse crop rotations in western Canada
(2019-03-05)Pulse crops have become essential to farming practices in the Northern Great Plains, but little has been studied how rotation systems with different crop mixes affect the economic returns. Initiated in 2010, a four-year ... -
Economics and science of hog manure handling and storage technologies
(2005-02-17)Hog production has been growing rapidly in Canada and this growth has created concerns over manure handling and the risk of soil and water contamination. There is limited information available to swine producers as to which ... -
Economics of controlled urea fertilizer in cropping systems
(2009-02-26)Nitrogen fertilizers are chemical compounds given to plants to promote growth. However, their application can impact the environment through ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions, and through leaching which can lead to ... -
Economics of crop diversification opportunities for the Brown and Dark Brown Soil Zones of Saskatchewan
(2003-02-18)Producers, particularly in the Brown and drier parts of the Dark Brown soil zones, have begun to extend and diversify their crop rotations, becoming less reliant on summerfallow and monoculture cereal cropping. The areas ... -
Economics of crop rotations at Indian Head

Economics of flex-cropping in southwestern Saskatchewan
(1993-02-25)The economic returns and riskiness of spring wheat production using fixed sequence rotations were compared to flexible cropping systems wherein the annual crop/fallow decisions are based on the level of available water at ... -
