Crop yield response and recovery of nutrients applied as thin stillage in a Black Chernozem

Alotaibi, K.D.; Schoenau, J.J. (2011-03-15)

Rapid increase in ethanol production from cereal grain to substitute fossil fuel has resulted also in different types of byproduct associated with its production. One of these byproducts is thin stillage. Thin stillage is ...

Agronomic and economic benefits of fertilizing crops

Karamanos, R.E.; Flore, N.A.; Harapiak, J.T. (2006-03-02)

Operating costs at farm level can be divided into essential, enhancement, maintenance, protection and insurance. Save growth hormones, which are not common in western Canada, fertilizer and better quality of seed are the ...

Urea treatment affects safe rates of seed placed nitrogen in Saskatchewan

Stonehouse, K.; Brandt, S.A.; Nybo, B.; Steinley, D.; Chalmers, S.; Kneeshaw, T. (2005-02-17)

Placing urea in close proximity to seed can cause seedling damage resulting in poor crop establishment. Plant densities are often well below the optimum, and plants that do emerge can exhibit poor vigor. Several strategies ...

The economics of potato crop rotations in southern Manitoba

Khakbazan, M.; Kularatne, H.; Mohr, R.; Volkmar, K.; Tomasiewicz, D. (2003-02-18)

Rapid expansion of the potato industry in Manitoba has led to increased potato production in Manitoba. While the introduction of potatoes into current cropping systems may provide an opportunity for producers to increase ...

Effect of rotation and short-term tillage on soil quality after long-term zero tillage

Moulin, A.; Irvine, B. (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 ...

Impact of tillage system, preceding crops, and P fertilizer on economic performance of flax production

Khakbazan, M.; Grant, C.A.; Derksen, D.A.; Irvine, R.B.; McLaren, D.; Mohr, R.M.; Monreal, M. (2004-02-19)

Conservation farming is a system approach that considers all factors that affect production. Reduced tillage is one of the methods of conservation farming and is becoming increasingly popular on the prairie. This will ...

Stubble effects on crop microclimate and crop performance in a sub-humid prairie climate

Volkmar, K.M.; Irvine, B. (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, ...

A decade of herbicide-resistant crops in Canada

Beckie, H.J.; Harker, K.N.; Hall, L.M.; Warwick, S.I.; Légère, A.; Sikkema, P.H.; Clayton, G.W.; Thomas, A.G.; Leeson, J.Y.; Séguin-Swartz, G.; Simard, M.-J. (2006-03-02)

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 ...

Fusarium species in underground tissue of pulse, oilseed, and cereal crops grown in southeast Saskatchewan

Fernandez, M.R. (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 ...

Colonization of cereal and noncereal crop residues by Fusarium spp. in southeast Saskatchewan

Fernandez, M.R.; Pearse, P.G.; Holzgang, G. (2004-02-19)

In July of 2000 and 2001, residues of wheat, barley, oat, canola, flax, lentil and pea crops were sampled from over 300 fields in southeast Saskatchewan. The non-cereal crops sampled had been preceded by a cereal crop, ...
