The inclusion of those alternative crops in the cropping system provides producers with options to grow their crops on different types of stubble.
Crops perform much better on one type of stubble than another type.
Thus, the wise selection of crop stubble can maximize crop yield. Research Experiment A field study was conducted on a loam soil at Swift Current and a clay soil at Stewart Valley, Saskatchewan, from 1996 to 1999. Field pea, lentil, chickpea, mustard and wheat were grown in the experiment. The following year, canola and spring wheat was re-cropped on the five different crop stubbles. Nitrogen credits from the pulse stubble were taken into account in the fertilizer calculation.
