Legume based pasture rejuvenation for greenhouse gas outcomes
(2019-03-05)Incorporating legumes into a grass based pasture system has multiple benefits. A grass/legume blend increases the dietary protein of foraging cattle over grass alone. Furthermore, symbiotic biological nitrogen fixation ... -
Leguminous green manure can drive the stabilisation of the increased soil organic carbon on dryland
(2019-03-05)Quantifying field management on stabilised soil organic carbon (SOC) can be utilised to elucidate the management efficacy on mitigating climate change over the long-term. To achieve this goal, we measured the physico-chemically ... -
Lentil canopy modification through architecture and stem stiffness
(2003-02-18)Current large green lentil cultivars similar to the cultivar Laird are susceptible to lodging in Saskatchewan. The goal of the study was to identify characteristics of lentil canopy architecture that will lead to reduced ... -
Lentil management in western Canada
(1979-02-19) -
Lessons from a soil fertility laboratory
(2007-03-01)A growth chamber experiment was established to demonstrate several basic principles of soil fertility to undergraduate students. Barley and field pea were grown in pots to demonstrate the effects of erosion and crop rotation ... -
Liming acid soils in west central Saskatchewan
(1987-02-19) -
Liming for wheat and barley on a Scott loam
(1973-02-08) -
Linkage of RAPD markers and Ascochyta resistance in lentil
(1996-02-22) -
Linking groundwater quality to soil properties, landscape characteristics, and farm practice a spatial analysis of the "groundwater characterization in R.M. of Leroy" dataset
(2006-03-02)The objectives of this study are to determine the source and extent of nitrogen and phosphorus contamination in the Rural Municipality of Leroy, and the most likely modes of contaminant transport, using only existing data. ... -
Liquid inoculant for chickpea
(1996-02-22)Three Rhizobium sp bv Cicer strains were formulated in a liquid carrier and evaluated for their ability to nodulate desi-chickpea in the greenhouse. The population of the strains was monitored over 5 months, the maximum ... -
Liquid inoculant for dry beans
(1995-02-23)All of the beans seeded in western Canada are treated with the fungicide captan and while it is effective against soil-borne root diseases it has been reported to inhibit symbiotic nitrogen fixation by Rhizobium. Therefore, ... -
Liquid rhizobial inoculants for lentil and field pea
(1993-02-25)The traditional peat legume inoculants are viewed by western Canadian farmers as being difficult to apply. Accordingly, more "user-friendly" inoculants are being developed to ensure more wide-spread inoculation of legumes. ... -
Liquid swine manure application to forage soil: effect on soil carbon and economic returns
(2002-02-20)Hog production has been on the increase in Saskatchewan for the past several years. This has lead to an increase in the environmental interest surrounding the application of liquid hog manure. The expected increase in swine ... -
Livestock manures for crop production and soil improvement
(1975-02-12) -
Lodging in association with disease in flax breeding plots
(2011-03-15) -
Long and short-term variability of aggregate size distribution in tillage and chemical fallow
(1993-02-25)Size distribution of aggregates is one of the most important factors which affect soil erodibility with respect to wind erosion. A long-term study was established in 1968 to investigate the influence of tillage and chemical ... -
Long term solute transport at the Laura site
(2000-02-22)Deep drainage in semi-arid environments such as the Canadian prairies may have significant implications for the subsurface movement of non-point source agricultural chemicals. Surface applied conservative tracers such as ...
