ECODA project number: <strong>Oilseeds East Activity 16</strong> Objectives: The primary objective is to generate local data and understanding of the imp ace of oilseed production in a region that has traditionally been focused on potatoes. There are four sub-activities: Evaluate
Crop rotation with potatoes (Quebec)
ECODA project number: Oilseeds East Activity 17 Objectives: Evaluate the integration of canola in a potato cropping system and measure the benefits and/or negative impacts during the potato year. Compare rotation system including canola with conventional and new potato cropping
Volunteer canola control
ECODA project number: Oilseeds East Activity 18 Objectives: Determine if there are herbicide tank mix combinations that will control volunteer Roundup Ready (RR) canola in a crop of RR corn. Determine if there are herbicide tank mix combinations that will
Winter canola rates/dates trial
ECODA project number: Oilseeds East Activity 19 Objectives: Test varieties/genotypes at sites across eastern Canada. Identify combination of varieties and optimum fertilization for specific locations Assess the suitability of winter-seeded spring-type canola for eastern Ontario. Investigate winter survival and the yield
Improving oil quality of Eastern Canadian canola
ECODA project number: B.2.5, B.2.6 and B.2.7 Principal investigator: Hugh J. Earl Executive Summary Elevated levels of free fatty acids (FFAs) in the seed has historically been the most important quality defect threatening marketability of the Ontario canola crop. Accordingly, variety
Crop rotation with new potatoes (Quebec)
ECODA project number: Agri-Innovation Program, Oilseeds East Activity 16 Principal investigator: TBD, Progest 2001 Executive Summary Evaluate the integration of canola in a potato cropping system and measure the benefits and/or negative impacts during the potato year. Compare rotation system
Canola nutrient management
ECODA project number: Agri-Innovation Program, Oilseeds East Activity 14 Objectives: Identify nutrient deficiency through plant and soil determinations with consideration of genotype-by-environment-by-management interactions for improved nutrient use efficiency (NUE) and canola crop productivity. Determine a threshold level of micronutrient deficiency
Canola general agronomy
ECODA project number: B.6 Principal investigator: Claude Caldwell Executive summary Field experiments were conducted at several sites in Eastern Canada to evaluate the effects of certain agronomic practices on canola production. Sub-activity B.6.2: 2011-12 Spring canola seeding date X seeding
Canola and microbial signals
ECODA project number: Agri-Innovation Program, Oilseeds East Activity 9 Objectives: The general objective of the proposed work is to improve our understanding of the ability of plant-to-microbe signals to enhance the growth and productivity of canola. The specific objectives are: Better under
