Enhancing winter canola integration into soybean cropping systems through relay intercropping
Abstract Winter canola (Brassica napus L.) has the potential to enhance the sustainability of soybean‑based cropping systems when integrated as a relay‑intercropped winter oilseed. A critical factor for successful overwinter survival is timely seeding that allows sufficient rosette development before dormancy.

Winter pea‐canola intercropping: A strategy for enhanced productivity and land use efficiency
Abstract Winter intercropping offers a promising strategy to enhance land use efficiency and crop productivity in temperate agroecosystems. This 5‐year field study evaluated the performance of winter pea (Pisum sativum L.)–canola (Brassica napus L.) intercrops (peaola) under reduced nitrogen fertilization and variable plant population densities in ...

Farmers’ share of the consumer food dollar in Canada: What input‐output data from 1997–2021 show us
Abstract This article uses Canadian input–output data from 1997–2021 to explore the consumer food dollar in terms of its distribution between farmers (i.e., farm share) and post‐farm gate industries. We have adopted the method developed by Canning (2011), which is based on a type one Input‐Output multiplier model.

Abstract Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) is a short‐duration high‐biomass cover crop often grown in potato (Solanum tuberosum) rotations to provide select agroecosystem services. However, buckwheat's short generation time challenges its continued viability as a cover crop as seed is rapidly produced, resulting in volunteer issues in subsequent ...

Abstract It has long been suggested that soil compaction indices should be monitored as part of a routine soil management program. Moreover, in addition to properties related to storage of gases and fluid within a bulk volume (i.e., bulk density [BD] and air porosity [θa]), some authors have suggested that properties linked to fluid and gas exchanges ...

Abstract Ten years after the introduction of genetically engineered canola (Brassica napus L.), bird rape mustard (Brassica rapa L.) with transgenes conferring glyphosate resistance was reported where the crop and the weed were sympatric. Another decade later, populations of these weeds were reported on farms located beyond this initial region of ...
