Description

Producers can benefit from using inoculant with beans. However, to reach the full yield potential, additional nitrogen fertilizer is recommended on fields that have less than 80 to 90 lb N/ac in the 0 to 12 inch (0 - 30 cm) depth of soil. A nitrogen fertilizer recommendation chart has been developed for soil testing labs, fertilizer dealers and producers to fine tune nitrogen fertilizer recommendations. The response to phosphorus fertilizer is generally small, usually due to moderate to higher soil test P levels in irrigated soils. However, phosphorus is very important in bean production, and a maintenance application may be beneficial, even at higher soil test levels. A phosphorus fertilizer recommendation chart was developed from the research data.

Description

Using good irrigation strategies with dry bean can mean a healthy crop with high yield and quality potential. In addition to ensuring that the dry bean crop is well-fertilized and well-protected from pests, growers are encouraged to properly manage irrigation by regularly monitoring soil water to ensure that the availability of water does not become a limiting factor in producing a high yielding dry bean crop.

Description

A round five million acres of canola are now grown annually in Alberta. Sclerotinia white stem rot is one of the most destructive diseases of this crop. To help canola growers predict outbreaks of sclerotinia white stem rot, a disease forecast system was developed. The forecast system is a checklist that assists growers to make a decision on the need for applying a foliar fungicide. The check list came into being as a consequence of disease control trials carried out in 1981 and 1982

Description

Pulse production in Western Canada has made land rolling a common practice on the farm. Land rolling is done to ease harvest operations as well as aid in producing a high quality pulse crop. There is limited research on land rolling of pulse crops. Three trials have been completed in western Canada: one on lentil in Saskatchewan, one on field pea in Alberta and one on dry edible bean and pea in Manitoba. Pulse crop growers have also provided their experience on land rolling of pulse crops.
