Modelling soil dynamics and the effect of nitrogen levels on potato yield function
(2006-03-02)Crop yield is maximized when optimal levels of nutrients, water, and other inputs are available to the crop and the influence of disease and weeds has been minimized. While each crop has differing responses to nutrient ... -
Modulus of rupture test for determining soil strength of surface soils
(Department of Soil Science, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, 1992-08-01) -
Moisture and temperature variation in layered soil profile
(1996-02-22)A laboratory experiment was conducted in a clay soil in Saskatoon to study the effect of layering on soil seedbed moisture and temperature variations. The treatments were subjected to a diurnal temperature and relative ... -
Moisture conservation and use at Swift Current – a comparison to previous findings
(1987-02-19)The results of an ongoing 18-year crop rotation study at Swift Current were compared to those reported 30-40 years earlier. The two periods showed no difference in over winter moisture conserved for stubble or fallow-systems. ... -
Moisture scheduling for irrigated crops

Molecular genetic variability, within a population of Mycosphaerella graminicola, cause of Septoria tritici leaf blotch of wheat
(2001-02-22)The pathogen Mycosphaerella graminicola (anamorph Septoria tritici), causes speckled leaf blotch of wheat and has worldwide distribution. Information about genetic variability of the pathogen population is useful for ... -
Molecular marker assisted introgression of loose and covered smut resistance into CDC McGwire hulless barley
(2005-02-17)CDC McGwire is a high yielding hulless barley cultivar from the Crop Development Centre (CDC), University of Saskatchewan which is susceptible to both true loose and covered smut. Screening for these diseases is time, ... -
Monitoring salinity after tile drainage

Monitoring water and salt movement during a leaching irrigation using time domain reflectometry
(1993-02-25)Time domain reflectometry (TDR) has become an accepted method of measuring soil water content. Laboratory results have indicated that it may also be possible to measure soil electrical conductivity (EC) using TDR. The ... -
Morphological analysis of S9240 tetraploid crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum)
(2000-02-22)S9240 crested wheatgrass was produced by colchicine-doubling the chromosome number of diploid A. cristatum cv. Parkway, followed by several cycles of selection for height, seed size, floret fertility, and forage yield. ... -
The movement of spray drift near a live shelterbelt
(2008-02-28)There has been recent interest in the use of shelterbelts to mitigate spray drift and protect downwind areas. Previous research has investigated the interaction of spray drift and shelterbelts using model shelterbelts, ... -
Moving pulse crop breeding into the 21st century

Mustard is better suited to the warmer and drier semiarid prairie than canola
(2002-02-20)Canola is a risky crop in the warm and dry semiarid prairie. Mustard is reported to be less susceptible to stress, although very little evidence is available to support this view. Nitrogen is the second most important ...
