Snowmelt Infiltration to Uncracked, Cracked and Subsoiled Frozen Soils
SNOWMELT INFILTRATION TO UNCRACKED, CRACKED AND SUBSOILED FROZEN SOILS D.M. Gray1, R. J. Granger2 and W. ~icholaichuk~ ABSTRACT The effects of snowmelt infiltration characteristics of uncracked, cracked and subsoiled frozen soils on soil water augmentation by snow management practices are discussed. It is shown the potential for sig- nificantly increasing infiltration in uncracked or undisturbed soils by increasing snowcover accumulation is limited by their poor infiltration characteristics. The average amount of infiltration to a naturally-cracked clay can be of the order of 7.5 times the amount to the same soil in an uncracked condition, depending on the snow water equivalent. Ripping a soil to a depth of 600 mm increased infiltration by a factor of 7. The use of deep tillage practices of ripping and paraplowing for increasing the infiltration potential of frozen soils is reviewed. 'chairman and 2~esearchOfficer, Division of Hydrology, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, and 3~ead,Watershed Research Section, National Hydrology Research Institute, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. INTRODUCTION During the past five years the Division of Hydrology, University of Saskatchewan, has undertaken an extensive field measurement program in the Brown and Dark Brown soil zones of Saskatchewan on soil moisture changes occurring between freeze-up in the fall and the disappearance of the sea- sonal snowcover. To date approximately 200 sites have been monitored on soils ranging in texture from sandy loam to heavy clay under fallow, crop stubble and grass. -

Use suitability maps as a guide, such as Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation maps and varietal information. Field Peas Field peas can be grown across Saskatchewan, but do not like excess moisture or salt-affected soils. Choose fields that drain well. Peas and lentils are more susceptible to Aphanomyces root rot compared to faba beans, chickpeas, and soybeans. Lentils Lentils are better adapted to the southern and west central part of the province in the Brown and Dark Brown soil zones. The introduction of new market classes and breeding for more determinate varieties (red and small green), has extended lentil production into the Thin Black and Black soil zones. In the moist Black and Grey soil zones, it is often too wet for consistent production of high quality lentils. -

Abstract: The International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) has applied the concept of ‘circular bioeconomy’ to design solutions to address the degradation of natural resources, nutrient-depleted farming systems, hunger, and poverty in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Over the past decade, IITA has implemented ten circular bioeconomy focused research for development (R4D) interventions in several countries in the region. This article aims to assess the contributions of IITA’s circular bioeconomy focused innovations towards economic, social, and environmental outcomes using the outcome tracking approach, and identify areas for strengthening existing circular bioeconomy R4D interventions using the gap analysis method. Data used for the study came from secondary sources available in the public domain. Results indicate that IITA’s circular bioeconomy interventions led to ten technological innovations (bio-products) that translated into five economic, social, and Citation: Feleke, S.; Cole, S.M.; environmental outcomes, including crop productivity, food security, resource use efficiency, job Sekabira, H.; Djouaka, R.; Manyong, V. -
Water Quality & Agriculture: It's Your Responsibility
Water Quality & AgricultureIT’S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY A Landowner’s Guide to Oregon’s Agricultural Water Quality Program Photo courtesy of USDA NRCS Water Quality & Agriculture IT’S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY Agricultural Water Quality Program In 1972, the federal Clean Water Act was passed to clean up water pollution from human activities such as forestry, factories, wastewater treatment plants, and agriculture. Oregon’s Agricultural Water Quality Management Act (Act) was passed in 1993 with the input and support of the agricultural industry and the Oregon Board of Agriculture. The Act is the foundation of the Oregon Department of Agriculture’s (ODA) Agricultural Water Quality Management Program (Program). The Act directed ODA to assist the industry in preventing and controlling pollution from agricultural sources. Working in partnership with Oregon’s 45 local Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs), ODA identified 38 watershed-based Agricultural Water Quality Management Areas (Management Areas) throughout the state. ODA Water Quality Specialists work with the agricultural landowners, and other stakeholders, who serve as Local Advisory Committee (LAC) members for each Management Area. Each LAC identifies local agricultural water quality problems and opportunities for improvement. Agricultural Water Quality Management Area Plans (Area Plans) address agricultural water quality issues in Oregon. As the LACs helped create the Area Plans, they also helped write Area Rules (regulations) for that Management Area. The Area Rules ensure that all landowners do their part to prevent and control water pollution. The Program is designed to help anyone engaged in agricultural activities prevent water pollution. How might my activities affect water quality? The primary water quality issues related to agriculture are excessive sediment, nutrients, stream temperature, and bacteria. -

The Trans-Canada Highway in Saskatchewan
THE TRANS-CANADA HIGHWAY IN SASKATCHEWAN Highway 1 or the Trans-Canada Highway is part of the National Highway System (NHS) and is one of the busiest transportation corridors in the province. It is a primary east-west trade artery, a major tourism route, and a key land link from coast to coast across Canada. Highway 1 is 655 km in length across Saskatchewan. Average daily traffic in Saskatchewan varies from a low of 4,700 vehicles per day between Maple Creek and Gull Lake, to a high of 22,800 immediately east of the City of Regina. History Construction on the two-lane Trans-Canada Highway in Saskatchewan began in 1950 and was completed in 1957. Saskatchewan was the first province to complete its section of the national highway, originally cost-shared with the federal government and built to agreed standards nation- wide. Four-lane construction on this highway began in 1960 with the first 21 km twinned section opened from Regina east to Balgonie by 1962. The last section of twinned highway around Moosomin was opened to traffic on November 6, 2008, 48 years later. Timeline - Highway 1 West of Regina: • 1967-70 – Regina to 2.8 km east of the Mortlach access; and from Swift Current to 1 km west of the Junction of Highway 32 • 1968 – west of the Junction with Highway 4 at Swift Current to 5.3 km east of Swift Current • 1971-72 – 3 km east of Herbert to 5.3 km east of Swift Current; and 2 km east of the Mortlach Access to 7 km east of Chaplin • 1975-76 – 7 km east of Chaplin to 3 km east of Herbert • 1983 – west of the Junction with Highway -

Benin is located in the Gulf of Guinea of the Atlantic Ocean in West Africa and covers 114,763 km2. The population estimated in 2017 is 10,900,000 inhabitants with an annual population growth rate of 3.5%. The country is primarily an agro-based economy, characterized by subsistence agricultural production that employs more than 70%. The climate ranges from the bimodal rainfall equatorial type in the south to the tropical unimodal monsoon type in the north. -

THE CROP RESIDUE MANAGEMENT CHALLENGE By Dr. Rob Zemenchik, Case IH Global Marketing Manager – Agronomy With commercial fertilizer prices on the rise in recent years, the nutrient value of crop residue has become both a significant economic and agronomic consideration. Corn stalks, soybean stubble and wheat straw can be baled and sold for livestock feed or bedding or biofuel production. And some crops are harvested as forage or silage, reducing crop residue in the field. In the Bt corn era, reduced decomposition time has emerged because of extended ear-fill periods that leave stay-green residues and fewer warm post-harvest days—all complicating crop residue management. -
