Cost-benefit analysis of the anti-inflammatory effects of flax oil
Background and Objectives: Currently, most consumers equate the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids with fish, since the vast majority of research on omega-3 fatty acids has been done on fish Therefore, the purpose of our proposal was to add to an ongoing clinical trial to determine the effect of flax…Read More
Microbial efficiency of crop residue decomposition
The study consisted of a series of bench-top incubation undertaken to measure nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from soils with canola, flax, pea or wheat residues dually labeled with 15N and 13C Additionally the efficiency of decomposition of the different crop residues was…Read More

The interest in growing pulse-oilseeds together as intercrop combinations in western Canada is increasing, but little is known about the nutrient dynamics operative that drive the observed synergies Two promising pulse-oilseed combinations (chickpea-flax and dry pea – white mustard) were grown as…Read More
