Hog and cattle manure additions in the Black Soil Zone of Saskatchewan: agronomic considerations
Experiments were conducted in 1997 at two sites (Burr and Dixon) in the Black soil zone, east - central Saskatchewan, to examine the effects of different rates and methods of application of swine and cattle manure applied ...
Crop response to four sulfur products applied in north-central Saskatchewan
A field study was conducted based on previous laboratory, greenhouse and field trial evidence which suggest a potential use for two alternative sources of sulfur fertilizer. The efficacy of (1) crystalline gypsum and (2) ...
Changes in soil biological and physical properties under reduced tillage systems
Interest in reduced tillage systems has increased in recent years, though important questions remain as to the impacts of such systems on soil quality and nutrient cycling. We examined the effects of tillage on soil ...
Nitrogen release, uptake, and yield of wheat in the Brown Soil Zone at the landscape-scale as influenced by tillage treatments
Comparison of the effects of short-term mechanical and no-till fallow managements on nitrogen (N) availability was conducted in an undulating landscape in the Brown Soil Zone in southwestern Saskatchewan. The effects of ...
The influence of crop residues on plant phosphorus uptake
Two growth chamber experiments were performed to determine the short term contribution of legume residues to soil phosphorus supplies. In the first experiment, fresh pea residues of different ages were applied to soil in ...
