Digging into Research
Planting CWAD wheat at a trigger temperature of 2 C had high and often more stable grain yields than planting at 10 C, with higher economic returns. Previous research found that ultra-early seeded spring wheat varieties provided improved grain yield stability while protecting or improving grain...
A diversified organic cropping system including legume intercrops resulted in some of the highest grain yield and biomass of the subsequent sole durum wheat crop in the semiarid region of the Canadian Prairies. Legume intercropping can be part of a diversified organic cropping system, providing...
Applying a foliar fungicide at BBCH65 (50% anthesis) effectively suppressed Fusarium head blight. Fusarium head blight suppression when application was delayed up to the end of anthesis at BBCH69 was statistically similar to application at BBCH65. Spray timing at BBCH59 when the wheat head was...
In a 3-year crop rotation, replacing summerfallow with a pulse crop increased total grain production by 35.5%, improved protein yield by 51%, and enhanced fertilizer-N use efficiency by 33%. A 3-year crop sequence study was repeated five times (five cycles) from 2005 to 2011 at Swift...
Seed at least 40 seeds per square foot (400 seeds per metre square) for optimum yield and wheat stem sawfly management when growing solid- or hollow-stemmed durum wheat varieties. The foundation for reducing yield loss from wheat stem sawfly (Cephus cinctus) in wheat varieties is growing...
