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
Microbial efficiency of crop residue decomposition
The study consisted of a series of bench-top incubation undertaken to measure nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from soils with canola, flax, pea or wheat residues dually labeled with 15N and 13C Additionally the efficiency of decomposition of the different crop residues was…Read More
