APSRU Seminar Series 15/04/05

Presenter:
Professor Ian Morrison
Faculty of Agriculture, Forestry and Home Economics, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Topic:
"90o of Change: Observations of a Canadian Cropping Systems Agronomist in Queensland"

Abstract:
Despite major climatic differences, crop production systems in Canada and Australia share many commonalities, and some notable differences. The seminar will feature comparisons between agro-climatic conditions, soils and cropping practices (including brief mention of related environmental issues), in the grains producing areas of the two countries. The presentation will also touch on the role of Grower Groups in facilitating applied research and development in Australia - a model that has no comparable equivalent in Canada.
