Crop losses from hail damage vary with intensity, timing and spatially. Producers have few options available after hail damage other than reseeding, silaging/greenfeeding or waiting to harvest what remains.
Two experiments were conducted to measure the responses of winter wheat to enhanced efficiency N fertilizers and timing/placements across the Canadian Prairies.

Poor stand establishment resulting in lower yield is a major constraint to expanding winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) across western Canada. We conducted a study totaling 26 site-years over three growing seasons

In response to concerns about acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor--resistant weeds in wheat production systems, we explored the efficacy of managing Bromus spp., downy and Japanese bromes, in a winter wheat system...

Leaf spotting diseases commonly occur on spring wheat crops grown in Saskatchewan, causing yield losses of up to 15%, although greater losses have been documented during severe epidemics.

Alberta is the hail capital of Canada. Extreme weather events frequently cause large amounts of damage to houses, cars and agricultural crops. Farmers are particularly at the mercy of mother nature when it comes to hailstorms.
