Evaluating the efficacy of fall and spring fungicide application on stripe rust as well as leaf spot severity, and the impact on yield and quality of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Between 2015 and 2022, we conducted four separate experiments, collecting 6-9 site-years of data per experiment to determine productivity and optimal agronomic management for grain corn production under rainfed conditions.

Precision planters are recently being adopted for seeding canola to improve crop establishment and seed yield. This study determined this effect of seeding canola using precision planters at different rates.

Hailstorms can be responsible for significant economic loss to the agricultural sector in Alberta, Canada. Foliar applications of certain fungicides and nutrient blends have been advocated to promote recovery and yield of hail-damaged wheat & peas - but do they?

Ultra-early seeding provides several benefits for hexaploid wheat, but a knowledge gap exists around whether durum wheat is amenable to this practice. Five cultivars were evaluated at various soil temperatures throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan to bridge this gap.

Read the published results of Farming Smarter's evaluation of strip tillage and precision planting to handle crop residue and improve canola emergence, growth, and yield in irrigated and rainfed fields.

Evaluating the difference in effect between once-in-three-year deep-banding and annual shallow-banding of potassium, phosphorus, and copper for crop growth and soil nutrients.
