Determining aluminum tolerance and critical soil pH for winter canola production for acidic soils in temperate regions
A growing interest in winter canola (Brassica napus L.) across the southern Great Plains has brought about many issues regarding production. One of the issues to be addressed is winter canola's tolerance of Al when grown on acid soils. The objectives of this study were to determine the maximum Al concentration and minimum pH for canola production in a temperate region with a known acid soil ...

Closing markets to biotechnology: does it pose an economic risk if markets are globalised?
This paper compares international trading patterns for canola, corn and soybean varieties prior to commercialisation of the Genetically Modified (GM) varieties with present trading patterns that include GM varieties. Any marketplace changes that have occurred are analysed to determine the cause for any market shifts. GM canola, corn and soybeans entered the marketplace successfully, but some ...

Nitrogen use efficiency and nitrogen uptake of juncea canola under diverse environments
Nitrogen accounts for the largest energy input in oilseed production. Understanding N use characteristics of oilseed crops will help improve N use efficiency and minimize production costs. This study determined nitrogen use efficiency (NUE, defined as seed yield produced per unit of N supply), nitrogen fertilizer use efficiency (NFUE, defined as seed yield produced per unit of fertilizer N), and ...

Development of drought-tolerant canola (Brassica napus L.) Through genetic modulation of ABA-mediated stomatal responses
Canola is one of the most important oilseed crops, and its seed yield and quality are significantly affected by environmental stresses such as drought. The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) is induced by drought and triggers stomatal closure to reduce transpiration, which accounts for >90% of water loss in plants. The ABA-mediated stomatal response is a dosage-dependent process that can be ...

Canola, Canada & Cropwise Imagery Cropwise Imagery - Case Study
Time management is a critical component of harvest preparation - when a grower has multiple fields to stage, knowing where to prioritize first is key. Mature canola crops are challenging to navigate through and a common workaround to gauge staging readiness includes perimeter scouting, or evaluating seed color change and degree of dry down along the edges of the ...

Clothianidin in agricultural soils and uptake into corn pollen and canola nectar after multi‐year seed treatment applications
Limited data are available on the fate of clothianidin under realistic agricultural production conditions. This is the first large‐scale assessment of clothianidin residues in soil and bee‐relevant matrices from corn and canola fields after multiple years of seed‐treatment use. The average soil concentration from 50 Midwest US corn fields with 2 to 11 years of planting clothianidin‐treated ...

Canola Farms in the Snake River Area
This past Memorial Day weekend the promise of great trout fishing in the Snake River led us across Washington state into Idaho and entertained us all with beautiful sites along the way. As the buildings and cars faded from view, the land opened up. The air got a bit fresher. The atmosphere a little quieter and colors more pronounced. But nothing stood out more than the glowing, yellow canola ...

Canola–Wheat intercrops for improved agronomic performance and integrated pest management
Intercropping can enhance yields and reduce pest infestations, but investigations of intercropping regimes using crop species common to the large-scale monoculture production systems of western Canada have not examined these diverse elements. Intercrops of canola (Brassica napus L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were established at three sites in Alberta, Canada in 2005 and 2006 to determine ...

The income and production effects of biotech crops globally 1996-2009
This paper provides an assessment of the economic impact at the farm level of agricultural biotechnology on global agriculture. It examines the economic impacts on yields, key costs of production, direct farm income, indirect (non-pecuniary) farm level income effects and impacts on the production base of the four main crops of soybeans, corn, cotton and canola. The analysis shows that there have ...

Comparison of certified and farm-saved seed on yield and quality characteristics of Canola
Relatively high seed prices and low canola (Brassica napus L.) grain prices created a controversy over using farm-saved seed from hybrids. Agronomic implications of saving seed from a canola crop were investigated by planting certified seed and saved-seed of an open-pollinated and a hybrid canola cultivar at eight site-years in Saskatchewan and Alberta, Canada. In one series of experiments ...

Ag in Motion 2020: Virtual Content
Field days and trade shows looked a little different than usual in 2020. In July, Kendall Gee of Crop Intelligence, and Curtis Russell with Taurus Ag Marketing https://www.taurus.ag/team/ met in a canola field southeast of Regina to discuss how soil moisture data can help inform farm decision making throughout the growing season. The video includes a walk-through of live data from Crop ...

Soil moisture data and Water Driven Yield Potential support confident decision making
I was introduced to Crop Intelligence and soil moisture probes in the spring of 2018 by Ryan Hutchison. That fall, I joined South Country Equipment as a Crop Intelligence Agronomist and put two stations on my family farm in SE Saskatchewan for the 2019 season. This was De Roo Family Farms first year using Crop Intelligence, but I knew we could trust the data to push our yields higher. Weather is ...

Transgenic breeding: Perspectives and prospects
Transgenic technology serves to introduce gene sequences for expression of a desired trait. Production of transgenic plants is reported in many crops, but commercialization is limited to a few selected crops, such as cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), corn (Zea mays L.), soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], and canola (Brassica napus L. and B. rapa L.). This paper presents the sequential processes of ...
