“…When both cereal crops were considered, all legume systems tested here provided rotational N and grain benefits similar to or greater than traditional tilled fallow. Others working in the Black soil zone of western Canada have also concluded that legume hay crops are superior to conventional tilled fallow (e.g., Hoyt and Leitch 1983).…”

“…In the present study, grain yield after the alfalfas was similar in Winnipeg-97 and similar to lower in Winnipeg-98 compared to the fallow treatment (Tables 5 and 6). Hoyt and Leitch (1983), however, concluded that legumes grown for hay with top growth removed greatly increased the yields of barley compared to that after fallow in three of five soils in the Peace River region.…”

Grain yield and N benefits to sequential wheat and barley crops from single-year alfalfa, berseem and red clover, chickling vetch and lentil. Can. J. Plant Sci. 82: 53-65. Singleyear hay alfalfas (Medicago sativa L.), berseem (Trifolium alexandrinum L.) and red clovers (Trifolium pratense L.), chickling vetch (Lathyrus sativus L.) and lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) were evaluated for rotational yield and N benefits to the following first-year wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and second-year barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) crops. Field experiments were initiated in 1997 and 1998 on a Riverdale silty clay soil at Winnipeg, Manitoba. Yield and N content of the following wheat crop were increased following legumes compared to wheat following a canola control. Wheat yield and N content averaged 2955 kg ha -1 and 76.1 kg ha -1 , respectively, following the chickling vetch and lentil, 2456 kg ha -1 and 56.4 kg ha -1 following single-year hay legumes, compared with 1706 kg ha -1 and 37.9 kg ha -1 following canola. Non-dormant alfalfas (dormancy rating of eight or greater) contributed to larger grain yields than the dormant alfalfas only in the first year of each experiment. The chickling vetch and lentil provided similar or higher subsequent crop yields and N content for 2 yr compared to a canola control or fallow treatment. This study shows that some increase in yield can be achieved by using a single-year alfalfa hay crop instead of fallow; however, exclusive green manuring of chickling vetch and lentil crops can produce the most increase in yield and N uptake in subsequent crops. par hectare, respectivement, après la culture annuelle de légumineuses, comparativement à 1 706 kg et à 37,9 kg par hectare, respectivement, après la culture de canola. La luzerne non dormante (facteur de dormance au moins égal à huit) a concouru à un meilleur rendement grainier que la luzerne dormante, mais la première année seulement dans chaque cas. La culture de gesette et de lentille entraîne un rendement et une concentration d'azote analogues ou supérieurs à ceux obtenus avec le canola ou la jachère, les deux années suivantes. L'étude indique qu'on peut parvenir à une certaine hausse de rendement après une culture annuelle de luzerne au lieu de jachère, mais la plus grande amélioration de rendement et de la concentration d'azote survient quand on utilise la gesette et la lentille comme engrais verts.

“…Cool season grasses are widely used in pastures on the prairie parkland and when grown in rotational sequences with cereal and oil-seed crops, the average life of a stand is 5 years (Entz et al 1995). Breaking or cultivation of forage stands to place them in annual-crop rotations results in the mineralization of large amounts of N. Residual effects of this N on succeeding cereal crops have been demonstrated for up to 7 years (Hoyt and Leitch 1983). Pasturing annual species, such as Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.)…”

The name of the Society was changed in 1971 by amendment of the Articles of Incorporation.The objectives for which the corporation is established are:- The Journal of Range Management is a publication of the Society for RangeManagement. It serves as a forum for the presentation and discussion of facts, ideas, and philosophies pertaining to the study, management, and use of rangelands and their several resources. Accordingly, all material published herein is signed and reflects the individual views of the authors and is not necessarily an official position of the Society. Manuscripts from anyone-nonmembers as well as members-are welcome and will be given every consideration by the editors. Editorial comments by an individual are also welcome and, subject to acceptance by the editor, will be published as a "Viewpoint."In Cooperation With: Some of the articles appearing in The assumption that ranchers are profit maximizers and that good managers can adopt technology are common among technology developers (White 1987, Workman 1986. However, the adoption of new technology by land managers is affected by many factors other than productivity including perceived risk and uncertainty (Zepada 1994). Fliegel (1993 proposed a technology adoption model for land managers in which the interaction of community characteristics (age, education, income, size of farm and tenure status) social participation in farm and/or community organizations, and communication factors (extension contact, print media contact, and radio contact) affect the rate of technology adoption.

“…However, soil water under all perennial forages will be depleted earlier in the season and to a greater extent than by annual forages (Twerdoff 1996) due to the earlier canopy development and resultant higher and earlier evaporative demand. Deep rooted species such as alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) may procure water at soil depths below 1 m and are efficient in extracting soil water (Sheaffer et al 1988) to the extent that the yield of subsequent crops in rotation may be compromised in semi arid (Campbell et al 1990) and parkland ecosystems (Hoyt and Leitch 1983).…”

. 2007. Soil water regimes of annual and perennial forages during drought years in the Aspen Parkland ecoregion of Alberta. Can. J. Soil Sci. 87: 523-533. Periodic and prolonged drought can be devastating to pasture production, which increases the financial risk for grazing enterprises. A study was conducted during 2 drought years (2002 and 2003) in the aspen parkland at Lacombe, Alberta, Canada, to compare the soil water regime of meadow bromegrass (Bromus riparius Rhem.), alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), and annual [oat (Avena sativa L.) and winter triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack)] pastures with a naturalized, old grass pasture consisting of quackgrass (Elytrigia repens L.), smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss.), and Kentucky bluegrass (Poa partensis L.). The pasture soil was an Orthic Black Chernozem of fine sandy loam to loam texture. Soil water measurements were conducted between May and October over 2 yr using a neutron scattering hydroprobe to a depth of 1.6 m. Annual and meadow bromegrass had similar and highest cumulative and volumetric water contents and old grass had the lowest. All pastures tended to use all water available by the end of the season, but annual pasture had higher soil water in spring and early summer due to delayed canopy development. Soil in the upper 40 cm of annual and meadow bromegrass pastures was at wilting point 5 to 10% of all measurement times compared with 65 to 71% of measurement times for alfalfa and old grass. Annual and meadow bromegrass pastures did not extract water below 1.2 m, while the other pastures did, and on the basis of soil water regimes, appear to be lower risk options than status quo old grass and alfalfa pastures during drought. ). Les pâturages s'étaient établis sur un tchernoziom noir orthique dont la texture allait du loam au loam sablonneux fin. Les auteurs ont déterminé la concentration d'eau de mai à octobre grâce à une sonde à dispersion des neutrons jusqu'à une profondeur de 1,6 m, les deux années. Les pâturages annuels et ceux de brome présentent la même concentration cumulative et volumétrique d'eau, la plus élevée aussi, comparativement aux anciennes graminées, qui présentaient la teneur la plus faible. Les pâturages ont tous tendance à utiliser la totalité de l'eau disponible avant la fin de la péri-ode végétative, mais les pâturages annuels avaient plus d'eau au printemps et au début de l'été en raison du développement plus tardif du feuillage. Les 40 premiers centimètres de sol des pâturages annuels et de brome des prés se situaient à 5 à 10 % du point de flétrissement à tous les relevés, contre 65 à 71 % pour la luzerne et les anciennes graminées. Les pâturages annuels et ceux de brome des prés ne tirent pas l'eau du sol au-delà de 1,2 m contrairement aux autres types de pâturages. Compte tenu du régime hydrique du sol, ils semblent donc constituer une solution moins risquée que les graminées rendues à l'état sauvage ou les prés de luzerne lors d'une sécheresse.
