Priming plant defense: A broad spectrum defense response that protects crops that have no genetic resistance or effective chemical treatment
Read MoreImproving on-seed survival and performance of legume inoculants using genome shuffling
Microbial inoculants that promote crop yield through biostimulation and biofertilization are an important tool to advancing sustainable agricultural practices The most prevalent commercial inoculants are rhizobia, which provide nitrogen fixation capabilities to pulse and soybean crops A key…Read More
Improved management of pea aphid and aphid-transmitted viruses in Saskatchewan pulse crops
Read MoreAdvanced N management for canola and soybean: Evaluation of a new biological for N-fixation in non-legumes
We evaluated a microbial inoculant containing a free-living nitrogen-fixing bacteria (Gluconoacetobacter diazotrophicus) for its ability to biologically fix N for wheat, soybean and canola Three inoculation methods were tested: direct application to the seed, foliar inoculation; and soaking the…Read More
Evaluating the interaction of management and environment on crop production in western Canada using producer-reported data
Research has shown that the variability in crop yield response to seeding date can often be attributed to environmental conditions experienced by the crop at important developmental or physiological stages, which vary with year and location Producers would benefit in better understanding the effect…Read More
