Value added processing of dehydrated and suncured alfalfa
(2003-02-18)A pilot scale pellet mill was used to produce pellets using ground alfalfa leaf and stem fractions. Both suncured and dehydrated alfalfa chops were used in the experiments. The moisture content of the suncured and dehydrated ... -
Value-added activity and co-operative development

Variability of ammonium and nitrate in disturbed and undisturbed forest soils
(1994-02-24)The spatial distribution of NH4+- and N03--N in forest soils, as affected by site disturbance, was studied at the landscape-scale. A sampling grid, consisting of 169 points, was established at an undisturbed site located ... -
Variability of anhydrous ammonia losses across a catena

Variability of potato petiole nitrogen in response to nitrogen fertilizer, implications for variable management
(2009-02-25)Recent increases in the cost of fertilizer nitrogen have prompted producers to assess the potential to vary inputs in space and time to produce the highest marketable yield of potatoes. A study was conducted from 2005 ... -
Variability of soil salinity and nitrate within a saline area: consequences for soil testing and fertilizer response
(1990-02-22)Soil test field calibration trials are most often established within apparently uniform, usually small, areas within fields. Results from many such sites over several years are then used to develop criteria for providing ... -
Variable rate fertilizer application in a thin Black soil
(1998-02-19)A broad association between landform and distinctive pedological regimes, as influenced by the hydrological pattern of the hillslope, exists in glacial till landscapes of southern Saskatchewan, Canada. Image analysis of ... -
Variable rate nitrogen fertilization in the Black Soil Zone of Saskatchewan
(1996-02-22)The feasibility of variable rate N fertilization was assessed during a single growing season at Birch Hills, Saskatchewan, Canada (105” 2’ W, 53” 3’10 N). The experiment was carried out across a 120 m x 620 m wheat field, ... -
Variation in pinto seed coat darkening
(2003-02-18)Darkening of the seed coat is a significant economic problem in pinto bean production. Beans that have darkened are considered old, more difficult to cook, and prices are discounted. Some varieties darken much more quickly ... -
Vegetation management effects on the nitrogen nutrition of white spruce seedlings
(1997-02-20)Fertilization, site preparation, and vegetation management are the main methods used to improve soil nutrient availability in the forest environment. The study was conducted to examine the effect of managing naturally ... -
Vernalization requirements for spring-sown canaryseed

Virtual soil testing – what is it?
(2002-02-20)Currently only ten percent of the total arable land in western Canada is soil tested at best. The percentage of farmers that soil test on a yearly basis is even lower. Providing recommendations to the farming community for ... -
Volatile N loss from decomposing green manure

Volunteer canola (B. napus) in western Canada
(2002-02-20)In western Canada, survey and small plot research has shown that volunteer canola persists for at least four years in rotation (Derksen at al. 1999; Thomas et al. 1999). It is not clear whether this is due to persistence ...
