SummaryThe Breton Plots were established by the Department of Soils at the University of Alberta in 1929. Within the Breton Plots research site, numerous long-term plot experiments have been conducted over the years. This paper summarizes results from the Breton Classical Plots (est. 1930), the Breton Hendrigan Plots (est. 1980), the Breton Tillage Straw Nitrogen plots (est. 1979) and the Breton Nitrogen Immobilization Plots (est. 1982). The experiments were established to find suitable cropping rotations and fertilizer management strategies appropriate for the Gray Wooded soils developed on glacial till in the Breton area of Alberta. Long-term results from the plots show that production challenges on these soils can be addressed with proper nutrient (fertilizer, manure) and residue management and the incorporation of perennial legume forage crops into annual crop rotations.
