Project Description

    Two alternative management projects are currently being conducted in western Canada, using cropping diversity and level of external inputs to assess crop production. Both of these projects were designed to provide a baseline from which to assess the impact of how both diversity of crops grown in rotation, and the inputs used can impact on production, pest populations, soil quality and economic returns. Grain samples have been saved for each of these projects; however, little or no evaluation of these samples has been carried out.
