General Information - Crop Production Successful crop production depends on a number of inter-related factors. Keep this in mind when making decisions on production inputs. Factors to be considered include: seed bed type and preparation seed variety and quality seed treatment seeding method and timing fertilizer application pest management, including weeds, insects and diseases harvesting method In general, expect best results when the proper balance of inputs is tailored to the particular soil and climatic conditions involved. For example, maximum returns from good-quality seed and fertilizer are reached only when integrated with other management practices such as effective pest control measures. For variety selection, refer to the current issue of Seed Manitoba Assess management practices and production costs carefully to select the optimum crop combination that will maximize profits. To assist producers in deciding which crops to grow, Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives has produced Guidelines for Estimating Crop Production Costs . These brochures are published annually and estimate the production costs for several different crops. They are available from your local agricultural representative. Crop Rotations Alternating broadleaf and cereal crops is generally recommended; specific cases are discussed under individual crop sections. Further information on crop rotation can be obtained from Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiative's

Slinsky Authors are Economist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Research Assistant Professor at the University of Tennessee, Economist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and Research Associate at the University of Tennessee. Invited paper and presentation given at Sustainable Energy: New Challenges for Agriculture and Implications for Land Use, Wageningen, The Netherlands, May 18-20, 2000, organized by Wageningen University, and sponsored, in part, by: Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, The C.T. de Wit Graduate School for Production Ecology and Resource Conservation, The Mansholt Institute, Wageningen Institute for Environmental and Climate Research, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, and European Association of Agricultural Economists 1. Introduction In response to the oil embargoes of the 1970s, programs to develop alternative energy sources were begun in the U.S. Energy security still remains a concern, but other issues such as global climate change, air and water quality, and economic development have added new immediacy to the development of alternative energy systems. Among the alternatives is biomass energy. In addition to research on conversion technologies, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) established, in 1978, the Bioenergy Feedstock Development Program (BFDP) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The BFDP is developing new crops and cropping systems that can be used as dedicated bioenergy feedstocks. The program has screened numerous potential crop candidates to identify promising species and research frequently involves collaborative efforts with university and USDA researchers. Recent efforts are focusing on three cropsswitchgrass, hybrid poplar, and willow.

In Space, Agriculture Develops Roots ~ ÏAstrocultureÙÓ expected to aid crop yield and enhance disease resistance on Earth. ~ September 27, 2001 document.write('Print This Page'); The $60 billion-plus International Space Station is allowing scientists and other researchers to explore and develop food production systems in space that will enable sustained life support systems. Termed astroculture, these studies hold clues for increasing and sustaining Earth's environmental and public health. (Courtesy: NASA. Inset: Ecology File photo) Crops in Space? Absolutely... especially if people are to travel for months and years to other worlds and systems. It would be impossible, for instance, to send along enough food and water for a team of space explorers on a mission to Mars. The reality is food and water production over a full life cycle is essential for extended space exploration. But more importantly, space offers extraordinary possibilities for increasing the yield and vitality of food production on Earth and for the generation of self-sustaining life support systems wherever people may live.

Crop Production and Protection RESEARCH PROJECTS ARTICLES, BOOKS AND REPORTS ABSTRACTS, CONFERENCES AND PROCEEDINGS MASTER'S THESES RESEARCH PROJECTS Effect of Melia azedarach on natural enemies of Bemisia tabaci The cotton whitefly, Bemisia tabaci , is one of the major pests of greenhouse and field crops in Lebanon. Experiments with aqueous extracts of Melia azedarach and Tween-20 (0.5%) against the pest revealed 70-80% detrimental effect under controlled conditions of 27 o C and 70-80% RH. Experiments with the entomopathogen Verticilium lecanii indicated that topical application of the plant extracts on 3 rd th instars before introducing the fungus have hindered the activity of the fungus against the insect. A delay period is being studied to indicate the best way of integrating the two control methods, aiming at getting an additive or synergistic detrimental effect of the two methods on the insect population. Studies with other biocontrol agents are being conducted to monitor the safety of these botanical extracts to the ecosystem and their potential role in Integrated Pest Management programs in which biological control of this pest is essential.

Cover Crops in Crop Production Systems Listen to the article Related Resources: Legumes such as red clover, hairy vetch, or ladino clover can provide excellent cover and make a significant nitrogen contribution to the soil. Red and ladino clover also are excellent forages. Potential problems in crops following these cover crops include soil moisture depletion, insect problems, such as army worms and white grubs, and mice and voles eating seed. Cover crops can be overseeded into standing crops with an airplane or high clearance ground rig, or no-till drilled following a previous crop of soybeans, wheat, or corn silage. For more information on the use of cover crops in your crop production system contact your local Extension office.

Advantages Reduce Effective Intro ... Worksheet Cost-effective Crop Production Studies show that yields produced in a reduced tillage system are equal to or better than those grown under conventional practices, however, when you reduce your tillage: Fuel costs and repair bills don't hurt as much Yields are more consistent Moisture is more manageable Seeding can be done earlier At the end of the season, it's all about getting more crop in the bin - for a lot less... Fuel costs and repair bills don't hurt as much According to a 1998 Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute survey, up to $10/acre of fuel can be saved through low- disturbance direct seeding. On 2,000 acres, that's $20,000 in fuel savings alone. (And with today's high gas prices, that number could sore even higher). The Alberta Agriculture calculator shows how much it costs to run any given piece of equipment. And, an Alberta Agriculture, Food and Rural Development study in 1993 concluded that reducing tillage cut machinery repair bills by $5.96/acre on 251 participating farms. That's almost $12,000 in savings for a 2,000-acre farm.

Non-Credit: 1 Sept. Jan. - Apr. 2005 Credit: 1 Dec. Non-Credit: 10 Dec. About the course: The course, Organic Crop Production on the Prairies , was developed by the University of Manitoba, and is offered both as a credit course and non-credit course. The Canadian prairie region is one of the world's "bread baskets", with over 46 million hectares of arable land. Organic crop production is a rapidly growing enterprise with over 1100 certified organic farmers in the three prairie provinces. To be successful, organic producers must understand the principles behind soil and crop management and become familiar with organically acceptable practices. Producers must also understand the best cropping options during the critical "transition to organic" phase.
