Over recent years soft wheat has become increasingly common as a forage plant both for producing silage and for producing hay, thanks to the excellent quality features of the green plant. To use wheat successfully as forage, the variety must be chosen carefully, especially so as to maximise yields. The desired features are above average height, excellent tillering ability, very leafy, very healthy plant, short awned spikes. 2, record 1, English, - short%2Dawned%20spike

Waldern(PI538414) was selected in 1983 from about 550 F7 lines of a cross between Gemini and Cascade(made in 1976) grown in a panicle-row nursery at Lacombe. Juvenile plants are erect and adults are medium-tall with medium-thick, strong culms. Tillering is intermediate and grains are long, medium-wide to wide, plump and yellow. Waldern is recommended as a well-adapted, high-yielding alternative to common full-season cultivars grown in rust-free areas of western Canada.(Abstract-Agriculture Canada). 2, record 3, English, - panicle%20row%20nursery

Pour se développer, les plantes ont besoin d'eau et d'éléments minéraux, notamment d'azote. Mais la majeure partie de cet azote n'est pas directement consommable par les végétaux. Cette matière organique doit auparavant être transformée par les organismes vivants du sol, d'où la notion de fonctionnement biologique des sols. Cette fonction est remplie par une diversité d'organismes dont les plus actifs sont les bactéries, les champignons et les actinomycètes. Comme pour tous les organismes vivants, leurs efficacité dépend très étroitement de la quantité de matière organique dont ils se nourrissent et de la qualité de l'environnement, ici le sol, dans lequel ils travaillent (humidité, aération etc...). Le «rendement biologique» d'un sol peut être amélioré par des apports de matière organique, des périodes de jachère et un travail du sol adapté. 2, record 6, French, - rendement%20biologique

Biomass nursery : A previously established nursery derived from four winter-hardy populations was evaluated for plants with good vigour, tillering ability and straw strength. Thirty-five elite genotypes were removed, vegetatively propagated and established in an isolated polycross nursery at the Central Experimental Farm and the Delhi Research Station. Synthetic-1 generation seed was collected the following year at both sites. [Source : ethanol project-Mcelwk. en p. 1]. 1, record 7, English, - biomass%20nursery
