Farm-level Costs and Benefits of Beneficial Management Practices for Irrigated Crop Production Systems in Southern Alberta
DownloadSpring 2014
This study conducted analysis to model adoption of Beneficial Management Practices (BMPs) by a representative irrigated cropping operation in southern Alberta. Three base rotations were developed that include combinations of cereals/oilseeds, dry beans, potatoes and sugar beets. Stochastic...

Meeting the Water for Life challenge: Management scenarios to improve irrigation water use efficiency and reduce water demand in the Western Irrigation District, Alberta
DownloadFall 2012
Simulation of two alternative management scenarios - full rehabilitation and implementation of most efficient technologies, and water application restrictions - were investigated with the Irrigation Demand Model (IDM) as potential avenues to improve water use efficiency and reduce water demand in...

Nitrous Oxide Emissions in Southern Alberta Croplands in response to Nitrogen Rates, Fertigation and Moisture
DownloadSpring 2018
Irrigated agriculture is an important source of global food supply due to its high production intensity; however, it is also a large user of water and nitrogen fertilizer, and therefore, a potential large contributor of N2O emissions. This study explores the viability of fertigation, a method of...
