Fiber flax variety and seeding rate x seeding method trials near Saskatoon in 2001
Objectives Project Description To generate these results, two plot experiments, each with four replicates, were set up about 20 miles […]
Flax growth and development: Understanding yield formation and the effects of critical stress periods on final grain yield
Objectives The objectives were to determine how flax grain yield is established; how agronomic factors affect the expression of grain […]
The effect of nitrogen fertilizer placement, formulation, timing and rate on greenhouse gas emissions and agronomic performance
Project Description This 3-year project compared agronomic performance, energy use and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from a variety of N-fertilizer […]
Eliminating the Source of Herbicide Resistant Kochia
Objectives 1. To identify kochia using image based methodologies. 2. To determine the degree in which soil salinity influences kochia […]
Evaluating whole flaxseed and flaxseed meal as energy and protein sources for high-producing dairy cows
Objectives The major objective of this research was to investigate the effects of feeding ground flaxseed, defatted flaxseed meal and […]
The Effect of Flax Seeding Rate, Crop Placement, and N Rate on the Development Yield of Chickpea and Flax
Objectives Project Description: Research information on the agronomics of intercropping chickpea and flax is required to assist producers in the […]
Accelerated Breeding Strategy for Flax Improvement
Increasing the rate at which new flax cultivars are developed will improve the ability of the flax industry to meet changing market demands and to tolerate climate change.
Enhanced Phosphorus Uptake in Flax
flax may be a particularly good candidate for biological inoculants that have potential to improve P uptake.
Genomic and pathogenic characterization of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lini, cause of flax wilt in SK and MB
This information will indicate the risk of flax wilt in a particular area and will help guide flax producers with decisions on which varieties to grow and which cultural practices are needed to mitigate disease damage.
Does seeding date and rate of canola effect spring flea beetle pressure, yield, and quality? – Year 3
The intended benefit of this demonstration for producers is to show case a wide range of seeding dates in canola, in combination with an adequate and increased seeding rate, so producers can make best management decisions for seeding canola to avoid heavy flea beetle infestations and the need for insecticides, while achieving high yields and best quality.
Potassium chloride (KCl-) replacements for chlorine uptake in canola
KCl-, 0-0-60, fertilizer can be harsh on equipment and cause unnecessary wear and tear. It is important to provide producers with strategies for managing Cl- deficiencies in canola that follow 4R practices and save the longevity of their equipment.
Canola Response to Enhanced Efficiency Nitrogen Fertilizer Products and Blends – Year 2
Nitrogen fertilizer management has long been amongst the most important considerations in Saskatchewan grain production, and canola is one of the largest users of this nutrient. Optimizing N fertilizer use efficiency is more important than ever with high fertilizer prices and increasing awareness of and societal pressure to minimize greenhouse gas emissions associated with N fertilization.
