New Projects in 2019

Projects in place for the 2019 field season include:

Pulses:

• Production management strategies to improve field pea root health in aphanomyces contaminated soils
• Enhanced fertilizer management for optimizing yield and protein in field pea
• Re-cropping faba bean after wheat herbicides
• Integration of faba bean seed rate and pre/post herbicides
• Timing of pre/post treatments for weed control in faba bean
• Tolerance and weed control efficacy of faba bean to pre/post combination

Oilseeds:

• Are we measuring the right soil N-pool for nitrogen fertilizer applications in Canola?
• Pre-harvest herbicide and desiccation options for straight-combining canola: effects on plant and seed dry-down, yield, and seed quality
• Prairie North Co-op canola variety trial

Spring Cereals:

• CWRS wheat varietal response to Manipulator
• Input study: intensive wheat management
• Are we accessing the right soil N pool for fertilizer recommendations in wheat?
• Can farmer-save seed of wheat perform as well as certified seed?
• Improved integrated disease management for oats in Saskatchewan
• Oat varietal response to seeding rate and nitrogen product and rate to reduce lodging and hasten maturity
• Maintaining acceptable test weights for milling oats
• Malt vs. feed barley management

Winter Cereals:

• Winter wheat response to nitrogen placement and timing options
• The essentials: phosphorus application in fall rye

Mixed Crop:

• Cover crop mixes as a solution for saline areas
• Oat/Pea intercrop demonstration
• Crop Sequencing of large acreage crops and special crops
• FHB risk modelling project

Field Scale:

• An on-farm approach to evaluate the interaction of management practices and environment on FHB development in wheat

Forage Legumes:

• Red and Alsike Clover in rotation with wheat
• Forage Legume varieties for seed and biomass yield
• Winter annual weed control in red clover
• Red Clover seeding rates
• Herbicide screening for annual weed control in established red and alsike clover

Forage Grasses:

• Forage grass varieties for seed and biomass yield
• Fertility and PGR in Annual Ryegrass for seed production
• Herbicide options in Annual Ryegrass for seed production

All reports will be posted as soon as they are available.
