Nitrogen Fixing Wheat Research at Agriculture Canada
Agriculture Canada scientists led by Dr Rennie at Lethbridge study boosting wheat nitrogen fixation to save farmers money. Over three years they tested 40 varieties across hard red spring and other types, tracing the trait to Red Fire and Hard Red Calcutta and noting its reappearance in Thatcher and relation to bread wheat like Neepawa and Columbus. Dr Whelan substitutes chromosome pairs to measure changes in fixation capability.
