Observations of fertilizer absorption of atmospheric water
(2019-03-05)Fertilize salts are subject to adsorption of atmospheric water plus condensation of water within fertilizer handling systems and fertilizer applicators. This can lead to significant problems in both application and safe ... -
Olsen-P distribution in a thin Black Chernozem as influenced by fertilizers and crop rotations
(1993-02-25)Inorganic phosphorus (P) is generally believed to be relatively immobile in Chernozemic soils. However, available P (e.g., Olsen-P) has been found at depth in some soils and this has been postulated to be either the result ... -
On-farm research: getting the most from a strip trial
(1998-02-19)On-farm research can be a powerful tool for farmers wishing to establish the true value of new and emerging technology for their own operation. It requires that farmers develop an understanding of how experimental design ... -

Optimized forecaster farming: a new tool to put accuracy into precision farming
(2002-02-20)Farmers looking at Precision Farming as a tool to better manage fields have found no real way to apply this technology to fertilization and crop production. The misconception between precision and optimization has lead ... -
Optimizing nitrogen fertilizer response by winter wheat and rye
(1987-02-19)Southwestern Alberta has been the traditional winter wheat production area in western Canada. In recent years, the adoption of a practical snow management system, which utilizes no-till seeding into standing stubble ... -
Optimizing nitrogen rates in Camelina sativa
(2010-02-25)Camelina is a new oilseed crop to western Canada with potential applications in cosmetics, human nutrition, and biofuel. Nitrogen recommendations for camelina production in Western Canada aren’t available. Field studies ... -
Optimizing seeding rates and plant densities for Camelina sativa
(2010-02-25)Camelina is a relatively new oilseed crop to western Canada. Currently there is little research available for camelina seeding rates in western Canada. A field study was conducted in 2007 and 2008 for 9 site years at ... -
