Service Delivery Review: The Ontario Experience

This paper examines the application of service delivery review approaches in Ontario local governments based on surveys and consultations with municipal managers in Barrie, Brantford, and the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville. The findings reveal that there is a strong commitment among municipal managers to excellence, improvement, and information sharing and they are seeking more information and advice on how to manage organizational performance, people, and money

Effect of Atrazine and its Carriers on the Grain Sorghum Plant

The addition of crop oils to post-emergent applications of atrazine has enhanced the weed control properties of the atrazine. This treatment has been used very effectively for the control of annual weeds in corn and sorghum. Because the treatment was applied post-emergence, it could be empl6yed after the farmer found he would have difficulty controlling annual weeds. The treatment was, then, an ideal salvage measure for the farmer who could not cultivate his field because of rainy weather. The atrazine plus oil treatment appeared to work better under rainy weather conditions than it did A rainy season in the southeastern part of South Dakota in 1967 caused many farmers to turn to atrazine plus oil to control the annual weeds they could not cultivate out of their corn and sorghum fields. Many farmers who used the atrazine plus oil treatment had satisfactory weed control and received no apparent injury to their crops. In other instances, sorghum fields sprayed with atrazine plus oil were severely injured. Most of this injury was confined to stunting and delay in maturity . Because of such erratic results, a survey was conduct ed by Parker and Stritzke to determine the extent of the injury and to study the type of weather conditions prior to and immediately following spraying. It appeared that the most severe injury was preceded by at least three days of cool weather when temperatures were less than seventy degrees Fahrenheit. The injury to the sorghum raised questions about the effects of atrazine and its carriers to the sorghum plant. A study was initiated to measure the physiological responses of the sorghum plant and to note the gross physical responses of the plant in height, weight and grain yield

Spring Frost Damage in Crops

Generally field crops in South Dakota are exposed to some degree of frost during the spring somewhere in the state. Periodically county agents and specialists alike are flooded with inquiries regarding the susceptibility of various crops to frost damage. One should keep in mind when assessing or determining the potential for frost damage that damage can be quite variable from one locality to another. In turn the degree of damage is often influenced by both the rate or speed temperatures drop and how long the freezing temperatures are maintained, not merely by how low the temperature drops

Winter Wheat Yield and Comments -- 2001

No-till, date-of-planting studies supported by the South Dakota Wheat Commission were conducted for four years at two locations in western South Dakota. Seven popular varieties were tested at each planting date. It was determined that planting date makes a greater difference in grain yield than does variety. The first two planting dates of September 15 and October 1 always had the highest yields. The latest planting date of November 1 always had the lowest average yield. The planting date of winter wheat in the fall has a significant effect on the spring growth and the yield of the crop the next season. The later-planted wheat has less fall growth, or in the case of the November planting, no growth. The lack of fall growth results in slower development of the crop in early spring and delays the grain-fill period until the hotter portion of the summer. The first two planting dates had more average fall growth and were able to start development earlier in the spring and make use of the moisture and cool growing conditions early in the summer

Common Root and Crown Rot Diseases of Wheat in South Dakota

Disease Impact Root and crown rotting diseases are among the most common and destructive diseases of wheat in South Dakota. They are present in every growing season and are estimated to cause as much as 3-4% crop losses in an average year. Losses may be greater in years with environmental conditions favoring specific root or crown diseases
