With so many factors going into yields, it can be difficult to know whether farmers are reaching the potential of their wheat seed. It can be even more difficult to figure out how to increase yields and whether those increases can be accomplished through management decisions. Dr. Brian Beres, research scientist with Agriculture and Agri-Food… Read More
There’s a reason just about every agronomic question can be answered by, “It depends.” That’s because no single management decision is made alone: the genetics of the crop and the environmental conditions will always play a role in the success of any one management practice. To further explain the concept of GxExM, this Wheat School… Read More

Wheat is a crop that sets yield potential very early in the season, so it’s imperative that the crop get off to the best start possible. Once plant stands and tillers are off to the races, splitting nitrogen can manage risk and help reach full yield potential. What’s more, late N can also bump protein… Read More
Fall seeding of spring cereals may sound like a wild idea — and it is — but research out of Western Canada is trying it for durum. Meanwhile in Ontario, a new seeding trial could help farmers decide if it’s time to upgrade the drill. For this episode of The Agronomists, host Lyndsey Smith is joined by Agriculture… Read More
