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…
Results indicate that flax seeding rate is the factor with the largest impact on grain yield and economic returns when intercropping chickpea and flax The impact of crop placement and nitrogen fertilizer varied among the site years There was a major reduction in percent green seed in the harvested…
The interest in growing pulse-oilseeds together as intercrop combinations in western Canada is increasing, but little is known about the nutrient dynamics operative that drive the observed synergies Two promising pulse-oilseed combinations (chickpea-flax and dry pea – white mustard) were grown as…
