Generating a profit from oilseed flax straw
(2004-02-19)Most Prairie farmers who grow oilseed flax straw have problems dealing with the straw that is produced as a byproduct of producing flaxseed. The straw is either burnt, chopped with difficulty or sold for a very low price ... -
Genetic improvement of chickpea for western Canada
(2003-02-18)The chickpea crop has experienced a roller-coaster ride over the past decade in western Canada. Production rose rapidly in the late 1990’s, followed by dramatic declines in the past two years. Instability can be attributed ... -
Genetic mapping of pre-harvest sprouting resistance loci in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(2006-03-02)Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the germination of mature grain while still in spike. PHS causes downgrading of grain quality which severely limits its end use. In western Canada, cool ... -
Genetic study of Ascochyta blight resistance in chickpea and lentil
(2002-02-20)Ascochyta blight is responsible for severe crop losses in most chickpea and lentil production areas around the world. The research was conducted to study the genetic basis for Ascochyta blight resistance in chickpea and ... -
Genetic variation among and within four Phalaris species

Genetic variation and stability of agronomic and quality traits in soybean varieties grown in western Canada between 2013 and 2018
(2019-03-05)Soybean is one of the major crops of the world, but relatively new to western Canada, especially areas west of Morden, Manitoba. Expansion of soybean production to these Canadian Prairies has been slow due to a lack of ... -
Genetic variation of seed dormancy in tetraploid wheat species
(1997-02-20)In western Canada, durum wheat cultivars (Triticum turgidum L. Var durum) have low to moderate levels of seed dormancy and are susceptible to pre-harvest sprouting .The objective of this study was to assess the level of ... -
Genotype difference in kernel discolorations in CWRS and CWAD wheats
(2003-02-18)Kernel discolorations of wheat, such as black point (including smudge and penetrated smudge), red smudge and Fusarium-damaged kernel (FDK), are important downgrading factors in western Canada. This study was undertaken to ... -
Germination and emergence of diverse dry bean varieties under cold and dry conditions
(2003-02-18)Dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. ) originated in the tropics and is a warm season crop. In temperate climates such as Saskatchewan, producers face many challenges in growing the crop. Sowing often occurs under suboptimal ... -
Germination of two native wheatgrass (Agropyron) species under different temperature and water potential regimes
(2011-03-15)Native wheatgrass species are important for land reclamation or rangeland re-seeding. The objective of this study was to evaluate seed germination of slender wheatgrass (Agropyron trachycaulum Link Malte) and northern ... -
Global applications of 4R nutrient stewardship

A global sensitivity analysis of DNDC model using a Bayesian based approach
(2010-02-24)This study was aimed at demonstrate the application of the Bayesian based global sensitivity analysis (GSA) approach to denitrification and decomposition (DNDC) model using the tool of Gaussian emulation machine for ... -
Goal 2XL herbicide research project on hybrid poplar at the Conservation Learning Centre, Prince Albert
(2006-03-02)Effective weed control is essential in establishing hybrid poplar grown in afforestation systems in Saskatchewan. Few registered herbicides are currently available for use in hybrid poplar crops, although there are several ...
