No-till Wheat Production in Oklahoma
Should I switch from conventional till to no-till wheat production? This is one of the most common questions asked by Oklahoma farmers, but it is also one of the most difficult to answer. There are several considerations when making this decision, and there is certainly no one-size-fits-all program for converting from conventional till to no-till wheat production. A few factors to be considered...
متن کاملNo-Till Production of Irish Potato on Raised Beds
INTRODUCTION In an extensive review of organic mulches applied on conventionally tilled (plow-disk) fields, Dutton (1957) concluded: 1) that organic mulches such ashay and straw often increasedboth yield and quality of Irish potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and 2 ) that improved soil physical properties under the mulch, particularly lower soil temperatures and conservation of soil moisture, were r...
متن کاملThe Sustainability of Organic Grain Production on the Canadian Prairies—A Review
Demand for organically produced food products is increasing rapidly in North America, driven by a perception that organic agriculture results in fewer negative environmental impacts and yields greater benefits for human health than conventional systems. Despite the increasing interest in organic grain production on the Canadian Prairies, a number of challenges remain to be addressed to ensure i...
متن کاملAnnual Climatology of the Diurnal Cycle on the Canadian Prairies
We show the annual climatology of the diurnal cycle, stratified by opaque cloud, using the full hourly resolution of the Canadian Prairie data. The opaque cloud field itself has distinct cold and warm season diurnal climatologies; with a near-sunrise peak of cloud in the cold season and an early afternoon peak in the warm season. There are two primary climate states on the Canadian Prairies, se...
متن کاملForecasting wheat yield in the Canadian Prairies using climatic and satellite data
Wheat yield forecasting is a significant component of planning and management of wheat exports from the Canadian Prairies. Commonly, regression models employing agroclimatic data pertaining to post-planting period are used as forecasting tools. However, the planning process of wheat export requires yield estimates even in advance of crop planting. Such advanced estimates are possible by using t...
