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 ...

AminoA+ Update and Autumn Recommendations 2016
AminoA+ Update With harvest 2016 coming to a close and also the first year of our commercial sales of AminoA+ we thought we should review the results and also make some recommendations based on this years’ experience. Yields OSR and Winter Barley yields were reportedly generally 30% down on 2015 levels this is undoubtedly a results of lack of sunlight in the early summer. (Two ...

EPA Releases Preliminary Risk Assessment for Neonicotinoid Insecticide Imidacloprid
On January 6, 2016, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in collaboration with California’s Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) announced the release of a preliminary pollinator risk assessment for the neonicotinoid insecticide, imidacloprid (Preliminary Risk Assessment or Assessment). In its assessment, EPA states that imidacloprid potentially poses a risk to hives when the ...

Yield and water use response of cuphea to irrigation in the Northern Corn belt
Cuphea (Cuphea viscosissima Jacq. x C. lanceolata W.T. Aiton) may be prone to drought stress, yet little is known about the yield response of this new oilseed crop to irrigation. A field study was conducted in western Minnesota on a Barnes loam soil (fine-loamy, mixed, superactive, frigid Calcic Hapludolls) in 2002 and 2003 to compare yield and water use of irrigated and nonirrigated cuphea. ...

Pod removal, shade, and defoliation effects on soybean yield, protein, and oil
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] yield formation in field environments can be either source-limited or sink-limited, depending on the assimilatory capacity of the mother plant relative to the assimilate demands of the developing seeds. Our objective was to evaluate yield and seed quality relationships under source-limited and sink-limited conditions during the seed-filling period, as protein and ...

Soybean seed yield and composition response to stand reduction at vegetative and reproductive stages
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] producers across the United States are confronted with significant economic losses annually from hail. Plant injury and yield loss are associated with defoliation and node or stand loss due to bruising and breaking of plant stems from the hail. The correlation of yield loss and leaf defoliation is well defined; however, limited information exists relative to whole ...
