Performance and stability of performance of spring wheat variety mixtures in organic and conventional management systems in western Canada
Download2009
O'Donovan, John T., Navabi, Alireza, Kaut, A. H. E. E., Spaner, Dean, Mason, Heather E.
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) variety mixtures represent a relatively unexplored avenue for maintaining and stabilizing yield for both organic and conventional producers. The present study examined the responses of three Canadian western red spring wheat varieties in sole crop and in variety...

Physical and Hydrological Characteristics of Ponds in Reclaimed Upland Landscape Settings and Their Impact on Agriculture Capability
Download1990
Pigot, M. E., Macyk, T. M., Moran, S. R., Trudell, M. R.
In 1985, a one hectare pond developed in the upland reclaimed landscape at Vesta Mine in an area where extensive ponding had not previously been observed. Because of the thickness of the spoil, about 20 to 25 m, and the proximity to the active pit, a few hundred metres, it was inferred that the...

Trudell, M. R., Cheel, D. B., Moran, S. R., Macyk, T. M.
Between 1979 and 1988, the Plains Hydrology and Reclamation Project (PHRP) investigated interactions of groundwater, soils, and geology as they affect successful reclamation of surface coal mines in the plains of Alberta. The overall goal of PHRP was: (1) to predict the long-term success and the...

Present and potential effects of anthropogenic activities on waters associated with peatlands in Alberta
Download1990
A literature review and problem analysis of the present and potential effects of human activities in peatlands on the quality and quantity of associated waters is presented in this report. The specific objectives were to describe: 1. The present state of knowledge about waters associated with...

Progress towards the sustainable risk management of clubroot (Plasmodiophora brassicae) of canola on the Canadian prairies
Download2011-01-01
Strelkov, Stephen E., Hwang, Sheau-Fang, Howard, Ronald J., Hartman, Murray, Turkington, T. Kelly
Clubroot, caused by the obligate parasite Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin, has recently emerged as an important disease of canola (Brassica napus) in central Alberta. Disease development is characterized by the formation of large galls on the roots of affected plants, which hinder water and...

Proteomic analysis of wheat (Triticum aestivum) whole roots and cell walls under water-deficit stress
DownloadSpring 2011
Wheat plants are affected by water-deficit stress in various regions of the world resulting in reduced crop productivity and thus decreased food production. To better understand the protein changes of water-deficit stress in wheat roots, comparative proteomics was performed using 2D gel...

QTL mapping and genetic studies in the Attila x CDC Go spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) mapping population
DownloadSpring 2017
Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important staple crops in the world. Wheat breeders in Canada primarily aim to develop cultivars with favored agronomic traits such as short stature, early maturity, high yielding, preferred end-use quality such as high protein content, and at...

Quantifying the nitrogen benefits of cool season pulse crops to an Alberta prairie cropping system
DownloadFall 2011
Diverse crop rotations are an important part of sustainable agricultural systems. More information is needed in Alberta on the effects of adding pulse crops to current rotations. This experiment investigated the effects of ‘Snowbird’ tannin-free faba bean (Vicia faba L.), ‘Arabella’ narrow-leafed...

Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping and doubled haploid technology for spring wheat improvement
DownloadSpring 2014
Efficiency is important in wheat breeding programs. A series of studies were conducted to determine genetic differentials, map genomic regions affecting various agronomic and quality traits in conventional and organic management systems and to improve doubled haploid (DH) technology in spring...

Quantitative trait loci and genomewide association mapping in western Canadian spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
DownloadSpring 2016
Early maturity, grain yield and grain protein content are some of the important traits in western Canadian wheat breeding programs. A series of experiments were conducted to explore the genetic basis of days to heading, and maturity, plant height, grain protein, grain yield and related traits. In...
