The effects of potassium and chloride nutrition on seed yield of canaryseed
(2010-02-24)
The year to year variability of grain yield in canaryseed has been a major concern among canaryseed growers. An experiment was conducted to determine the responsiveness of canaryseed seed yield to potassium (K) and chloride ...
Short-rotation willow productivity and nutrient dynamics after three years of irrigation and fertilization
(2012-03-13)
Purpose-grown shrub willow (Salix spp.) represents a viable bioenergy feedstock; however, there needs to be sufficient biomass production to support the economic viability of these plantations. The objective of this ...
Effect of phosphorus form on short-term solubility and availability in soils
(2012-03-13)
A laboratory experiment was set up to compare solubility and “availability” of four phosphate
fertilizer sources over a period of 32 d after application to soils with varying pH levels. Three
soils, one acidic and two ...
Effect of uniformity of land application of solid cattle manure on crop yield and soil nitrate
(2012-03-13)
Equipment used in Western Canada to apply solid cattle manure (SCM) are known to exhibit
uneven uniformity of distribution of material. For organic bio-solid manures to be a viable
supplement or alternative to chemical ...
