Salt-affected soil areas are increasing in the Northern Great Plains (NGP) with patches occurring some of most productive croplands. High electrical conductivity (EC) and sodium and/or sulfate concentrations saline-sodic impede growth yield ‘normal’ [corn (Zea mays)/soybean (Glycine max)] rotational crops more appropriate management systems needed. Brassica sp. amendment application, such as biochar, may provide alternatives for these areas. In two greenhouse studies, 1) 10 canola (Brassica...
Maize (corn) (Zea mays L.)) yield is influenced by complex factors including abiotic and biotic stress inconsistent nutrient use effi-ciency that challenge optimal yield. Standard management recommendations often fall short, prompting interest in intensive manage-ment strategies within an Adaptive Corn Management System (ACMS). To investigate this, we employed addition/omission tech-nique a randomized complete block design (RCBD) to compare standard maize with inten-sive protocol aimed at...

Abstract Canola ( Brassica napus L.) may diversify wheat‐based cropping systems in the Northern Great Plains. However, agronomic adaptability and stability of high‐yielding genotypes have not been widely evaluated over diverse environmental conditions South Dakota (SD). A 2‐year field experiment was conducted two contrasting environments (Brookings—eastern SD Pierre—Central SD) to evaluate (10 2019 12 2020) for days 50% flower, lodging, pods plant −1 , seed yield, 1000‐seed weight, yield...
