Objectives:

To determine how best to manipulate agronomic factors for optimum canola harvest timing, productivity and crop sequencing with winter wheat. To understand the role of growth habit (spring versus winter) in relation to differential crop and soil responses. To determine how system integration and intensity effects influence winter wheat production and interactions with disease, weed, and insect pests. To elucidate the influence of preceding break crops on succeeding winter wheat crop responses in the Canadian prairies.
