An inter-cropping trial was conducted in the summer of 1988 to compare pea inter-crops with Tobin and Westar canola, yellow mustard, and barley. At two sites, a number of different pea varieties were inter-cropped with ...

One hundred and eight isolates of Rhizobium leguminosarum were screened for effectiveness for pea under controlled environments. Eight superior strains plus the commercially available pea inoculants, Nitragin 'C', Grip-Inotec, ...

An experiment was initiated at two 4-ha sites with hummocky to undulating terrain, to examine the spatial variation rotation benefits of wheat grown after pea compared to wheat grown after wheat. In the second year of the ...

Laird-lentil and Neepawa-wheat were grown under irrigation in 1987 at the experimental Irrigation Farm at Outlook under three levels of N: 10, 50, and 100 kg of NH4NO3, double labelled with 15N. A similar experiment was ...

A landscape study was conducted near Biggar, Saskatchewan, to study the influence of crop residues on the availability of soil N in the second phase of crop rotations. In order to compare leguminous and cereal residues, ...

Variability in nitrification and autotrophic nitrifying communities were assessed at shoulder and footslope positions of a cultivated and a pasture landscape. The sampling design was a systematic grid design and all analysis ...

Incorporation of legumes in a cropping system has positive agronomic benefits to subsequent crops, particularly cereals. Some of these benefits are associated with improved N availability to the subsequent cereal. A study ...
