Continuous corn has been possible the past couple decades thanks to Bt corn hybrids. But, as in many situations where there are limited options for control, the repeated use of Bt corn has allowed resistance to develop in corn rootworm populations.
Corn is used by many livestock farmers as feed due to its abundance and nutritional content. So, what can we do? In this episode of Inputs, Tracey Baute, OMAFRA field crop entomologist, discusses how Bt corn hybrids have worked to manage corn rootworm so far, how resistance has developed and what it means for corn growers going forward.

With the growing demand for top-yielding field pea production with high protein content and other quality attributes, it’s important to understand the relationship between soil micronutrients and pea production. Concentrations of certain micronutrient elements, such as iron and zinc, are important to human health. However, the nature of soil micronutrient availability and interactions with field pea production and quality in Western Canada are not yet well understood. A team of USask researchers are examining the impact of micronutrient fertilization on grain yield and quality of two cultivars in a new three-year project.

Variety selections have long been focused on yield and key agronomic traits. But plant breeders are also interested in using other tools to improve selection. The use of physiological breeding is one such tool that can complement conventional breeding by characterizing other agronomic traits that contribute to yield – such as root length and rooting depth. This allows breeders to choose crosses based on these other traits, rather than on yield alone.
