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 […]
Greenhouse Gas Program for Diverse Field Crops
Our proposed project will deliver tangible resources for Canadian growers who produce diverse field crops, looking to implement practical strategies for reducing N2O emissions.
Enhancing the Development of Short and Herbicide Resistant Flax
This project focuses on showing the benefits of improved flax varieties to farmers and adapting the trait to allow farmers to be as competitive as possible.
Integrated Approaches for the Genetic Improvement of Flax
The proposed project will develop new generation of flax varieties which will enable the crop to be grown over larger areas in Canada.
Enhancing Genetic Gain for Yield, Biotic and Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Flax
Breeding efforts to develop lines with improved tolerance to heat stress are urgently needed.
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.
Accelerating Flax Straw Decomposition by Harnessing Natural Soil Microbes
Our goal is to develop a bioformulation that can be applied to flax stubble that will accelerate its decomposition to reduce its interference with the flax seeding process.
