It looked at optimum row spacing and seeding density impact on yield for two spring wheat varieties and if seeding into canola or soybean stubble affects this relationship. Current provincial seeding rate recommendations are over 25 years old. No recommendations exist for row spacing. » Read more...

Oat protein’s intriguing potential

Given the growing popularity of plant-based proteins, researchers are investigating the health benefits of oat-derived protein. One research team looked at the effects of an oat protein-based diet in relation to two different types of cardiovascular problems, using two different animal models. In the first animal model, the obesity-based cardiovascular complications were reduced with an oat protein diet. In the second model, blood pressure was reduced and heart function was improved. » Read More...
