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
A reverse-introgression and genomics strategy to develop and characterize chickpea germplasm for yield and climate-resilience traits
Chickpea is well known to have narrow genetic base, consequently, limits our ability to expand the cultivation of the crop into new environments such as western Canada, and limits our breeding effort to improve stress tolerance as well as other economically important traits Wild species of chickpea…Read More
Has transition to no-tillage resulted in more free-living soil N fixation?
Read MoreThe integration of spring wheat genetics and agronomics to mitigate risks associated with early plantings into cold soils
Previous studies have indicated that crosses between spring and winter wheat cultivars can result in spring growth habit cultivars with cold tolerance similar to winter wheats (Larsen 2012) Agronomic studies focusing on seeding date tend to indicate a yield advantage to early seeding of spring…Read More
