A Summary of Land Resource and Groundwater Resource Issues Related to Plains Coal Mine Reclamation in Alberta
Download1996
Trudell, M., Moran, S. R., Cheel, D., Macyk, T., Thacker, D.
Development and extraction of coal resources in Alberta disrupts the landscape and alters two other important resources, land and groundwater. In order to support coal resource development that was economically and environmentally responsible, the Reclamation Research Technical Advisory Committee...

Further improving of seed yield, other agronomic and seed quality traits in spring canola Brassica napus requires broadening of genetic diversity in this crop. The European winter oilseed B. napus is known to be genetically diverse from spring oilseed B. napus. We hypothesized that elite spring...

Keddie, B. A., Sarfraz, R. M., Tansey, J. A., Dosdall, L. M.
Abstract: Insecticidal seed treatments are used commonly throughout the Northern Great Plains of North America to systemically protect seedlings of canola (Brassica napus L. and Brassica rapa L.) from attack by the flea beetles Phyllotreta cruciferae (Goeze) and Phyllotreta striolata (F.)...

Nutrient limitation of periphyton in agricultural streams: Implications for watershed management
DownloadSpring 2021
Freshwater streams are ecologically important as sources of habitat, unique biodiversity, and valued ecosystem services. Yet, stream health can be threatened by intensified nutrient loading derived from adjacent anthropogenic land-uses such as agricultural and municipal developments. Since algal...

Many accounts of Alternative Food Networks (AFNs) describe them as cohesive social movements that adequately address the social and environmental externalities of food and agricultural production. Yet others question whether initiatives that focus on localized consumer driven change can provide...

Fall 2010
Yield losses from infestations of root maggots (Delia spp.) (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) can be severe in canola crops in central Alberta. Studies were undertaken in central Alberta, Canada to manipulate agronomic practices that have potential to affect crop yield, root maggot infestations, and the...

An assessment of the fumigant metam sodium and a Brassica juncea-derived biofumigant as management tools for clubroot (Plasmodiophora brassicae) of canola (Brassica napus)
DownloadFall 2016
Clubroot of crucifers, caused by the soilborne parasite Plasmodiophora brassicae, is spreading across canola (Brassica napus) fields in Alberta, Canada. Dissemination of the parasite is associated with the movement of infested soil on farm and other machinery, with the disease generally...
