A new understanding of an old threshold

Héctor Cármaco, research scientist with AAFC in Lethbridge, has been studying lygus bug for more than 20 years, and during that time has found that lygus feeding on canola is not always damaging, and at times can even stimulate a yield increase in the crop. Because of this unique dynamic, Cármaco sought to revisit the economic threshold of lygus bug in canola, with the hunch that unnecessary insecticide applications were being made in an effort to control an insect that wasn’t causing as much damage to canola as initially thought. » Learn more...

Cover crops: Big benefits for Prairie producers

Graduate student Callum Morrison recently conducted a small online survey of Prairie farmers to gauge cover crop adoption. Over time, the survey grew to more than 500 Prairie farmers, more than double its original scope, becoming the largest survey of its kind in Canadian history. Of those hundreds of farmers, more than half reported growing cover crops. Eighty per cent of cover crop farmers identified “improving soil health” as the primary reason for planting cover crops, while increasing soil organic matter, keeping living roots in the soil, feeding soil biology and adding nitrogen also were reported as motivators. The majority (81 per cent) said they’d noticed benefits. » Learn more...

Agronomy update: Higher, more stable yield with ultra-early seeded wheat

Research over the past seven years has looked into the benefit of seeding spring wheat earlier than is traditionally done, with the theory being that extra-early seeding could produce greater yield by capturing the benefits of longer frost-free periods that include early season growing degree-day accumulation, increase vegetative growth periods, early season precipitation, increased day-length at anthesis and reduced average temperatures at grain fill. The results of a number of studies conducted since 2015 show that adopting ultra-early wheat seeding systems in the Prairies can lead to higher, more stable yield. » » Learn more
