Interactive effects of N and S fertilizers on canola yield and seed quality on S-deficient Gray Luvisol soils in northeastern Saskatchewan
Bibliographic record
Abstract
On marginally S-deficient soils in the Parkland region, application of high rates of N and other fertilizers in combination with more frequent productionof canola (Brassica napus L. or B. rapa L.) causes rapid depletion of S and nutrient imbalance in soil, and S deficiency and yield reductionfor canola. Field experiments on Gray Luvisol (Boralfs) soils deficient in available N and S were conducted in northeastern Saskatchewan. Interactive effects of N (0, 50 100 and 150 kg N ha-1) and S (0, 10, 20 and 30 kg S ha-1) rates on yield, seed quality, and uptake of S and N in canola were determined. In the absence of S application, increasing N rate made the S deficiency symptoms more severe, and reduced yield, S concentration, oil concentration, S uptake and N uptake of seed, but there was a general response of no effect or some increase in protein concentration, S and N uptakein straw up to 50 or 100 kg N ha-1. When S was applied, canola yield, S concentration, S uptake and N uptake of seed as well as the yield and S uptake of straw increased with increasing N rate. Irrespective of S rate, fertilizer N reduced oil concentration and increased protein concentrationin canola seed. With S fertilization, yield, S uptake and N uptake of seed and straw, and total S concentration and oil concentration in seed were substantially increased, whereas there was no consistent change in protein concentration of seed. The response of these parameters to S application was generally greater at higher N rates. Sulphur and N uptake measured data indicated that significant N × S interaction effects were more frequent and pronounced for seed yield than for straw yield, indicating that the response to N rate was relatively more dependent on the S level for seed than for straw. In summary, the results suggest that an increased amount of S is needed on these S-deficient Gray Luvisol soils in northeastern Saskatchewan to adequately meet the S requirements at high N rates for optimum yield and quality of canola. Key words: Canola, N and S concentration and uptake, N and S fertilization, oil concentration, S-deficient soil, seed yield and quality

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
