Genetic variation for nitrogen use efficiency in Canada Western Red Spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under conventional and organic management systems
DownloadSpring 2018
Improved nitrogen use efficiency in cereal-based agricultural systems can contribute to increasing grain production while reducing agriculture-related pollution caused by nitrogen leaching, volatilization and denitrification. Organic agriculture differs to conventional systems in terms of in...

Integrating enhanced efficiency fertilizers and nitrogen rates to improve Canada Western Red Spring wheat production in the Canadian prairies
DownloadSpring 2023
Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most widely grown wheat class in western Canada. This is mainly due to its excellent milling and baking quality, concomitant with a high protein concentration. Adequate nitrogen (N) supply is important to achieve optimal CWRS...

Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci Associated with Agronomic Traits and Disease Resistance in a Canadian Spring Wheat Mapping Population
DownloadFall 2018
Due to reduced genotyping costs and high-throughput technologies, marker assisted selection has become a valuable tool for plant breeders, allowing for identifying traits of interest in screened germplasm. Marker assisted selection requires the identification of stable, and consistent...

Soil microbial communities and grain quality as affected by spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar and grain mixtures in organic and conventional management systems
DownloadFall 2011
It may be possible to tailor crop management to encourage diverse soil microbial communities and beneficial microorganisms, and produce high quality food products. Studies were carried out in 2005-2007 to evaluate the impact of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar choice and crop...
