Editor's Note 
 
The weather is warming up in some regions across the Prairies and - while there's a lot to read today about trade and the upcoming federal election - seeding will go ahead. This week, read the latest research on ideal seeding rates for spring wheat.

Fine-tuning wheat seeding rates

How much spring wheat do you seed per acre? A bushel? A bushel and one-half? Throw that old notion out and think plants per square foot. Current Saskatchewan recommendations are 21 to 27 plants per square foot (215 to 275 plants/m2). But a research study looked at if there is opportunity to fine tune those rates further, evaluating the ideal seeding rate for spring wheat under various environmental conditions. » Read More...

Drawing the line on chaff lining

As an entry level harvest weed seed control (HWSC) program, chaff lining is an affordable, alternative tool to help manage the weed seedbank. Research in Australia, where HWSC was pioneered, found that a chaff line can create environments favourable for seed survival while still restricting weed seedling emergence, and that chaff lining is the ideal initial HWSC system for growers to begin adoption. Research in Canada looked into its potential on the Prairies. » Read more...
