1. A New Hydroponic System for Testing Mineral Nutrient Deficiencies and It's Application to SoybeansCorrelating plant tissue nutrient concentrations with visual symptoms is valuable in combating mineral nutrient deficiencies and toxicities. Due to changing climates and decreasing water supplies throughout the world, agricultural lands need to improve nutrient and water management in crops, including soybeans (Glycine max L.).Because nutrient concentrations can be easily controlled, hydroponics effectively demonstrate isolated specific nutrient related symptoms. However, many hydroponic... A.M. Lambert, S.M. Anderson, D.L. Cole, A. Haderlie, C.J. Seely, B.G. Hopkins |
2. Soil Physical Quality Effects of Novel Perennial Grain Cropping at Two Contrasting Sites in Alberta, CanadaNovel perennial grain crops have been proposed as a solution to several environmental issues facing modern agriculture, namely the loss of soil quality often associated with annual monocrops. Abundant literature has stressed the importance of good soil quality for maintaining and improving ecosystem services provided by agricultural systems including, but not limited to, soil carbon sequestration, disease suppression and water filtration. Conversion of annual croplands to perennial systems has... E. Daly, K. Kim , G. Hernandez-ramirez, K. Klimchuk |
