Nitrous oxide emissions in agriculture: impacts on the GHG mitigation issue
(2002-02-20)Nitrous oxide (N2O) is responsible for about two thirds of the emissions from agriculture. With a global warming potential (GWP) that is 310 times greater than CO2, management of N2O emissions is critical to achieve ... -
No-till can reduce the risk of heat stress in wheat
(2006-03-02)No-till farming (NT) is increasing in the Canadian Prairies in recent years because of the economic and environment benefits and its potential to sequester atmospheric carbon into the soil. Because surface residue and ... -
No-till seeded winter wheat: influence of date of nitrogen application on the seasonal pattern of crop growth and water use
(1991-02-21)An experiment was carried out to determine the influence of fertilizer N timing on the early season crop development and water use (ET) of no-till seeded winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Ammonium nitrate N was surface ... -
No-till seeded winter wheat: influence of genotype on water use, crop growth, and yield in contrasting environments
(1991-02-21)Genotypic variation for yield among a population of winter wheat lines grown under a range of natural drought stress conditions was examined in two independent experiments. Extensive variation in yield among twenty-eight ... -
No-till seeded winter wheat: influence or date of nitrogen application on the grain yield, grain protein, and yield components
(1991-02-21)An experiment was carried out to determine the influence of date of nitrogen (N) fertilizer application on the grain yield, quality, and water use efficiency (WUE) for dry matter and grain yield production of no-till seeded ... -

Non-bloat legumes alter pasture soil greenhouse gas fluxes, nutrient cycling rates, & microbial community structure
(2020-03-10)Pasture grazing systems can act as both sources and sinks for greenhouse gases (GHGs) — cattle emit enteric methane (CH4), while soil microorganisms emit nitrous oxide (N2O) and consume ambient CH4. Producers seed non-bloat ... -

Northern adapted flax variety development project
(2011-03-15)In 2010, the Northern Adapted Flax Variety Development Project (NAFVD) was launched. This project represents collaboration between the Saskatchewan Flax Development Commission, Viterra, the Alberta Innovates Technology ... -
A novel technique for rapidly separating willow roots from clay soil
(2012-03-13)Numerous studies have examined the root dynamics of willow biomass energy crops growing on medium to coarse-textured soils, using either soil coring, minirhizotron techniques, or a combination thereof. However, neither ... -

Nutrient cycling in intensively managed short rotation hybrid poplar plantations
(2005-02-17)Hybrid poplars grown on short rotation offer rapid growth (20 years), biomass accumulation greater than native aspen stands, and a large sink for nutrients and carbon. The biomass and nutrients exported after harvesting ... -
Nutrient Export in Run-off from Commercial and Manure Fertilized Watersheds at the LFCE.
(2020-03-10)Nutrient export losses from agricultural soils, especially phosphorus (P), contribute to eutrophication of surface waters. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of the addition of nutrients as manure ... -

Nutrients affecting crop production in northeastern Saskatchewan
(1998-02-19)Extensive studies on the nutrient effects of N, P, and S on crops have been studied over the past 35 years by scientists at the Melfort Research Station. Later work was devoted to micronutrients such as boron applied to ...
