Orlick, Charles C., Bauer, Leonard, Jeffrey, Scott
The focus of this study is to examine the risk and return trade-offs for various crop rotations and tillage systems. The geographic area represented in this study will be that contained within four soil, and five climatic zones within the Province of Alberta. The predominant crops grown in these...

Nitrogen and Sulfur Fertilization Effects on Carbon Sequestration and Greenhouse Gas Emissions in S-deficient Soils
DownloadFall 2016
Depending on management practices, agricultural soils have the potential to be both a source and a sink of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Long-term fertilization and crop rotation management practices are considered to have an impact on carbon (C) sequestration and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. Sulfur...

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...

The Economics of Beneficial Management Practices Adoption on Representative Alberta Crop Farms
DownloadSpring 2012
Monte Carlo simulation was used to examine the on-farm economics from adoption of Beneficial Management Practices (BMPs) on five representative Alberta cropping farms. Adoption of shelterbelts, buffer strips, residue management, and the addition of annual and perennial forages, field peas, and...

The long-term effects of crop rotation and fertilizer applications on soil health and crop productivity in Alberta
DownloadFall 2022
Long-term agricultural management practices affect soil health. Five long-term rotations at the University of Alberta Breton Plots were sampled as part of the Soil Heath Institute (SHI) North American Project to Evaluate Soil Health Measurements (NAPESHM) in 2019: (1) check (no fertilizer...
