Nitrogen is an essential plant nutrient that is needed in a relatively large amount to optimize yield Nitrogen is the most expensive nutrient supplied as fertilizer by Canadian farmers annually However, various pathways of nitrogen losses such as ammonia emission, nitrate leaching, nitrous oxide…
In recent years, crop production on the Canadian prairies is experiencing noticeable change as growers recognize the benefits of crop rotation and proper cropping sequence Crops grown in previous years may substantially affect yields of the current crops, by impacting occurrence and severity of…
We have established dsRNA technology that can be applied to control FHB in wheat and blackleg in canola and have established optimal screening and analyses protocols that can be applied to develop analogous solutions for other pathogen species once suitable genomic resources are established The…
Innovative cropping systems are required for yield and economic stability and to manage pests and improve ecosystem functioning The potential risks and benefits of Accelerated Crop Production Systems (ACS), the production of three crops in two growing seasons using a combination of spring and…
