ECODA project number: B.2.1 Principal investigator: Donald L. Smith Executive Summary The objective of this sub-activity was to understand the potential for microbe-to-plant signaling compounds such as lipochitooligosaccharides (LCOc) and thuricin 17 to help canola plants deal with stressful growing
Development of high oil canola varieties/genotypes packaged with superior traits and suitable for cultivation in Eastern Canada
ECODA project number: B.1 Principal investigator: Peter B.E. McVetty Executive summary Canola production in Eastern Canada is limited to the use of cultivars developed specifically for Western Canadian growing regions. The objective of the ECODA B1 project was to identify
Assessment of the impact and interactions of emerging crops on potato-based cropping systems (PEI and New Brunswick)
ECODA project number: <strong>Oilseeds East Activity 16</strong> Objectives: The primary objective is to generate local data and understanding of the imp ace of oilseed production in a region that has traditionally been focused on potatoes. There are four sub-activities: Evaluate
Crop rotation with potatoes (Quebec)
ECODA project number: Oilseeds East Activity 17 Objectives: Evaluate the integration of canola in a potato cropping system and measure the benefits and/or negative impacts during the potato year. Compare rotation system including canola with conventional and new potato cropping
Volunteer canola control
ECODA project number: Oilseeds East Activity 18 Objectives: Determine if there are herbicide tank mix combinations that will control volunteer Roundup Ready (RR) canola in a crop of RR corn. Determine if there are herbicide tank mix combinations that will
Winter canola rates/dates trial
ECODA project number: Oilseeds East Activity 19 Objectives: Test varieties/genotypes at sites across eastern Canada. Identify combination of varieties and optimum fertilization for specific locations Assess the suitability of winter-seeded spring-type canola for eastern Ontario. Investigate winter survival and the yield
Improving oil quality of Eastern Canadian canola
ECODA project number: B.2.5, B.2.6 and B.2.7 Principal investigator: Hugh J. Earl Executive Summary Elevated levels of free fatty acids (FFAs) in the seed has historically been the most important quality defect threatening marketability of the Ontario canola crop. Accordingly, variety
Crop rotation with new potatoes (Quebec)
ECODA project number: Agri-Innovation Program, Oilseeds East Activity 16 Principal investigator: TBD, Progest 2001 Executive Summary Evaluate the integration of canola in a potato cropping system and measure the benefits and/or negative impacts during the potato year. Compare rotation system
Canola nutrient management
ECODA project number: Agri-Innovation Program, Oilseeds East Activity 14 Objectives: Identify nutrient deficiency through plant and soil determinations with consideration of genotype-by-environment-by-management interactions for improved nutrient use efficiency (NUE) and canola crop productivity. Determine a threshold level of micronutrient deficiency
Canola nutrient management
Categories: Canola; Fertility ECODA project number: B.5 Principal investigator: Bao-Luo Ma Executive summary Field experiments were conducted across Eastern Canada to investigate the growth, yield and quality traits of canola crop to preplant and sidedress application of nitrogen (N) fertilizer
