Canola Response to Enhanced Efficiency Nitrogen Fertilizer Products and Blends

Exploring potential benefits of enhanced efficiency fertilizer (EEF) nitrogen (N) products and blends with side-banding was identified as a priority by SaskCanola. In the spring of 2025, field trials to address this topic were initiated at Indian Head, Melfort, Prince Albert, Scott, Swift Current, and Yorkton, encompassing a wide range of soil/climatic conditions.

Application of hyperspectral imaging for detection and mapping of small patch clubroot infestations in commercial canola fields

Researchers had a couple of objectives to complete during this project; the first was to identify readily applied diagnostic features for mapping small patch clubroot distributions using hyperspectral data, and to develop a diagnostic tool. Second, they wanted to refine and validate the diagnostic tool for identifying small patches of clubroot infestations.

SCAP CCC Canola AgriScience Cluster 2023-2028

Canola plays a significant role in carbon sequestration given the deep rooting nature of the crop. Priority 1 activities will concentrate on methods to further increase carbon sequestration, while  reducing greenhouse gas emissions from fertilizer and dairy-associated methane emissions. Projects  will evaluate strategies to increase nitrogen use efficiency and improve nitrogen management and  methods to inform fertilizer rate recommendations.
