Abstract
Low commodity prices, rising input costs, and increasing concerns about environmental degradation are encouraging producers in western Canada to consider alternative soil tillage and weed management methods that conserve resource inputs. However, little is known about the economic merits of these management changes. This study determines the effects of six integrated soil, cultural, and weed management practices on production costs, economic returns, and riskiness for a Wheat (W)-Canola (C)-Barley (B)-Pea (P) rotation in the Dark Brown Soil Zone of Saskatchewan.
