Impact of Production System and Nutrient Addition on Grain Quality in Long-term Rotation Studies in Western Canada

Assess crop rotation and nutrient application on flax yield and nutrient uptake.

IPNI-2000-CAN-MB13

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.

Interpretive Summary

2002

Impact of Production System and Nutrient Addition on Grain Quality in Long-term Rotation Studies in Western Canada, 2002 The role that crop rotations and production inputs play in the removal of nutrients from the soil is critical to maintaining soil productivity. An alternative management project at the University of Manitoba is using cropping diversity and level of external inputs to assess crop production.
