Author of the article: Submitted Publishing date: May 19, 2021 • 4 hours ago • 3 minute read • Article content Dr. Jeff Schoenau isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty. He owns and operates a grain farm near Central Butte, Saskatchewan and has been working as a soil scientist for the University of Saskatchewan (USask) for 33 years. In a paper published today in the Canadian Journal of Soil Science, PhD student Noabur Rahman, Schoenau and colleagues Drs. Derek Peak and Ryan Hangs collected and analyzed soil from across the prairies including samples from Schoenau’s own farm. We apologize, but this video has failed to load. ....
The study, which offers recommendations for improving fertilizer use and increasing crop yields for farmers, builds on previous studies Schoenau and Peak have completed as collaborators at Canadian Light Source (CLS) at USask. Schoenau considers some of their work done on the HXMA and VLS-PGM beamlines at the CLS to be ground-breaking. “There are not a lot of folks that have used these techniques to study the fate of some of these nutrient elements in the soil environment as applied in the field,” said Schoenau. Using chemical analysis and synchrotron techniques, the team looked at soil micronutrients in soil samples from Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba. ....
The Canadian Wheat Research Coalition, composed of the 3 prairie wheat commissions, has committed 2 million dollars over 5 years to a wheat breeding program at the University of Alberta. The investment will fund research with a focus on developing new Canadian Western Red Spring and Canadian Prairie Spring red wheat varieties. A top objective is to develop three to five registered wheat varieties with early maturity, shorter straw stalk, and resistance to stripe rust and Fusarium head blight. These are key priorities of northern Alberta’s parkland region, where the program is located. Since 2013, the University of Alberta wheat breeding program has registered 14 wheat varieties. ....
