Public release date: 18-Sep-2002 Contact: Sara Procknow sprocknow@agronomy.org American Society of Agronomy Contact: Gilles Bélanger belangergf@agr.gc.ca 418-657-7985, ext. 260 Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Will global warming improve crop production? Winter temperatures are on the rise and scientists note this change will actually increase a plant's exposure to freezing temperatures Scientists from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada predict crops will be at a greater risk of winter damage in the future even though the climate will be warmer. Perennial forage crops are grown on more than 40% of the cultivated land in Eastern Canada and other regions of North America, where they constitute the backbone of the livestock industry. The study of the impact of this significant warming trend is published in the September-October issue of Agronomy Journal, published by the American Society of Agronomy. The loss of snow cover due to warmer winter conditions will increase exposure of plants to freezing temperatures. The authors also conclude that the occurrence of above-freezing temperatures and loss of cold hardiness will increase with climate warming. Forage crops are also likely to enter the winter in a lower state of cold hardiness due to warmer fall temperatures. Winter temperatures are expected to increase by 2 to 6 degrees C over the next 50 years in Eastern Canada; however, survival of perennial crops over the winter months requires the right climatic conditions. Sub-freezing temperature, loss of cold hardiness due to warm periods, ice encasement, and soil heaving can result in frequent crop losses.

Public release date: 29-Mar-2004 Contact: Kathleen Sullivan kathleen.sullivan.1@bc.edu Boston College Improved crop production and fewer greenhouse gases Agricultural research by Boston College's Harrison The researchers studied three different methods of soybean farming: conservation (no-till drilling); conventional tillage, and organic farming. Their findings showed that the conservation method produced the highest crop yield, 15% more than conventional tillage and 110% more than organic farming. It also held the most carbon in the soil41% more soil carbon than conventional tillage and 48% more than organic. This catching and holding of soil carbon, called sequestration, keeps carbon from being incorporated into carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. "Our research suggests that farmers can make decisions about tillage that can help mitigate the effects of global warming," writes Harrison and his co-authors. "Switching from a conventional till method to conservation tillage could produce 15% more food on the same amount of land," according to the authors. This has serious implications, they write, as the "global population continues to rise and the need to feed more people using less land is becoming more urgent." For example, the conservation technique would use 52% less land than the organic method to produce the same amount of soybeans.

This article continues a series that provides producers with information that will aid in phosphorus (P) management and in understanding environmental issues related to P management. It focuses on P management for crop production with attention to fertilization strategies, application methods, related soil management aspects, and environmental issues. Fertilizer and manure application for crop production A previous ICM newsletter article ( Soil testing and available phosphorus , September 18, 2000, pages 164-166) discussed how soil testing is used to arrive at optimal P application rates. Producers have to make additional decisions concerning the method and timing of application, with consideration given to P removal in harvested crops, the overall P needs of a crop rotation, costs of products, application charges, crop prices, and potential impacts on water quality.

Chinese Broccoli SPECIALTY CROPS: Chinese Cabbage and Related Oriental Crops COMMERCIAL VEGETABLE PRODUCTION Prepared by William Terry Kelley, Extension Horticulturist - Vegetable Crops Chinese Cabbage Chinese cabbage is a member of the Cruciferae family, which also includes cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and mustard. In fact, Chinese cabbage is more closely related to mustard than to cabbage. Though seemingly new to Southern diets, Chinese cabbage has been cultivated in North America for more than a century, and in China for almost 1,500 years. Today, it is grown for sale primarily in California, New Jersey, Hawaii and Florida. The flavor of Chinese cabbage is somewhat milder than cabbage when cooked or eaten raw and has been traditionally used in soups, egg rolls, stir-fry and for pickling. It can adequately substitute for cabbage in many Western dishes. Chinese cabbage is an annual that grows 10 to 20 inches tall. Two types are available: a leafy type (
