Due to its cationic nature, Cu mobility is assumed to be very limited in Prairie soils, which are dominated by negatively charged constituents (McLaren et al., 1983). Clay and organic matter are major sources of these ...

Arbuscular fungi (AF) colonize ca. 80% of terrestrial plant roots and typically improve their growth by enhancing nutrient uptake, reducing disease severity and/or imparting resistance to abiotic stress. Therefore, ...

Three field experiments were conducted in northwestern Alberta to determine the influence of pea cultivars on the N economy and the performance of the sequent wheat crop: four pea cultivars were tested with barley as the ...

This review examines some agronomic, economic, and environmental impacts of herbicide-resistant (HR) canola, soybean, corn, and wheat in Canada after 10 years of growing HR cultivars. The rapid adoption of HR canola and ...
