Fusarium species in underground tissue of pulse, oilseed, and cereal crops grown in southeast Saskatchewan
(2004-02-19)
A total of 643 cereal, oilseed and pulse crops were sampled in southeast Saskatchewan in 2000 and 2001 for Fusarium populations in underground living tissue. Many of the Fusarium spp. isolated from discolored roots/subcrown ...
Yield and protein of wheat and durum in Brown Soil Zone as affected by long-term tillage system and crop rotation
(2003-02-18)
Three tillage-rotation experiments in the Brown soil zone showed that spring wheat and durum grain yield and protein were affected by tillage system, length of time in tillage system, crop sequence. During the initial 15 ...
Intercropping as a disease management strategy

Indian Head precision farming research project, relationship of soil properties to plant characteristics, a preliminary analysis
(2000-02-22)
Soil properties and crop characteristics were measured in a two-year study at Indian Head, Saskatchewan. A one-acre sampling grid (308 sampling points) was established in eight plots representing phases of a canola-wheat ...
Considering belowground nitrogen of crops grown in prairie agroecosystems
(2011-03-15)
Grain legumes can improve the yield of succeeding cereal crops through nitrogen and non-nitrogen benefits. Included among these is the input of symbiotically-fixed N from the remaining legume residues following grain ...
Effect of rotation and short-term tillage on soil quality after long-term zero tillage
(2004-02-19)
A field study was established in 2000, near Brandon Manitoba, to determine the effect of tillage and crop on soil physical and biological properties. Most soil physical and biological properties were not affected by tillage ...
Response of cereals to fertilizer N on pulse and other stubbles
(2003-02-18)
To optimize cropping systems requires knowledge of effects of the preceding crop on the grain yield and protein and the response to N of a following cereal crop. To gain this knowledge, we grew hard red spring (HRS) wheat, ...
Stubble effects on crop microclimate and crop performance in a sub-humid prairie climate
(2004-02-19)
Stubble impacts crop microclimate in ways that have not been well-investigated, particularly in the context of crop establishment, growth and yield. In this study, the effects of different stubble heights on crop microclimate, ...
