A macronutrient bulletin for the prairies
(1994-02-24)
This paper briefly highlights some of the contents of a recently completed bulletin, which provides an up-to-date record of the status of our knowledge with regards to crop responses to, and impact on the environment of ...
Linking groundwater quality to soil properties, landscape characteristics, and farm practice a spatial analysis of the "groundwater characterization in R.M. of Leroy" dataset
(2006-03-02)
The objectives of this study are to determine the source and extent of nitrogen and phosphorus contamination in the Rural Municipality of Leroy, and the most likely modes of contaminant transport, using only existing data. ...
The effect of long-term application of P fertilizer on soil grown forage plants
(2006-03-01)
Phosphorus (P) fertilization does not always increase crop yields but the repeated use of P may modify the biological properties of soils. The objective of the present study,
therefore, was to investigate the effect of ...
How hungry is hemp for fertilizers?
(2002-02-20)
A field experiment was conducted at Melfort, SK in 2000 and 2001 to determine the effects of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer rates on hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) productivity. Increased nitrogen fertilizer rates significantly ...
Factors affecting nutrient supply rate measurements with PRS™-probes
(2002-02-20)
This poster includes background information about how PRS™-probes are used to measure soil nutrient supply rates and how factors of the soil environment influence nutrient supply rate measurements. The discussion contains ...
Rhizobium inoculant formulation and placement in lentil and chickpea in the semiarid Canadian prairies
(2003-02-18)
Lentil and chickpea are the major pulse crops grown in western Canada, but little is known about the responses of these annual legumes to rhizobium inoculant formulation, placement, and their interaction to fertilizers ...
Controlled Environment Comparison of Struvite Versus MAP on Growth and Recovery of Phosphorus in a Canola-Wheat-Pea Rotation
(2020-03-10)
To meet the increasing demand for canola yield, prairie producers apply phosphorus (P) fertilizer to supply sufficient P for the current crop. However, the current maximum safe rate of seed-placed P for Saskatchewan are ...
Chemical Speciation of P from Band Applied P Fertilized Soil in Presence or Absence of Plant Growth.
(2020-03-10)
There is limited information on how commercial phosphorus fertilizer application in a concentrated band impacts the solubility and transformation of phosphate compounds in presence or absence of plant growth in Canadian ...
