Spring Fertilizer Requirements
Snow might still be on the ground, but it’s never too early to think about the year ahead. Many producers have their crop plans already in place. Last fall’s early snow means spring fertilizing is on the radar for a lot of farmers. In this month’s article, we talk to Connor Bohachewski, our Territory Manager for northern Saskatchewan and northern Manitoba. A certified ...

Genetic variability in nitrogen use efficiency of spring barley
Increasing costs of N fertilizers and the negative impact of excessive N on the environment have made improvement in nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) a desirable goal in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) breeding. Seventeen replicated trials, each consisting of 15 to 20 genotypes, were performed across different environments in Alberta, Canada from 1998 to 2007 to determine genetic variability in NUE. ...

Continuous corn response to residue management and nitrogen fertilization
Harvesting corn (Zea mays L.) residue in continuous corn (CC) may require changes in crop management for increased efficiency. Experiments were conducted in Illinois to determine how residue removal and tillage affect surface residue after planting and the response of CC to N fertilization. Partial removal of residue left 21 to 26% surface residue coverage with a chisel plow system, compared with ...

Benefits of vetch and rye cover crops to sweet corn under no-tillage
Leguminous cover crops (CCs) may reduce N fertilizer requirements by fixing N biologically and storing leftover N-fertilizer applied in the previous year. The objective of this study was to determine the contribution of CCs [rye (Secale cereal L.) and hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth)] on plant N nutrition and weed suppression to the following sweet corn (Zea mays L.). The CCs were planted in the ...

Characterizing and Classifying Variability in Corn Yield Response to Nitrogen Fertilization on Subfield and Field Scales
Marked spatial and temporal variability in yield response to N fertilizer observed in individual yield response trials creates a high degree of uncertainty when estimating economic optimum rates (EORs) of N for a group of trials and when extrapolating these rates from one location to another. A survey was conducted to characterize and classify variability in yield response to N on subfield and ...

Top Dressing Fertilizer in Western Canada
Western Canada has a short growing season which makes another pass for top dressing fertilizer sometimes difficult to achieve. Many crops have the fertilizer applied during the seeding season with Liquid Distribution Systems, (like these kits we make here). Often this will meet the crops fertilizer requirements for the whole season. Making one pass makes sense in a season that brings the right ...

Forage yield and competition indices of Berseem clover intercropped with Barley
Berseem clover (Trifolium alexandrinum L.) should be intercropped with cereals for forage quality improvement, livestock bloat avoidance, and fertilizer requirements reduction. A 2-yr field study was conducted using a cultivar of berseem clover and two barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivars as sole crops compared to six berseem clover–barley intercrops planted at three seeding rates (250–338, ...

The promotion of organic fertilizer granulator to my China's agriculture
China has been a big agricultural country since ancient times. Organic fertilizer granulator has greatly promoted agriculture, which shows the status of organic fertilizer granulator in my country. Below we introduce how the organic matter granulator works. The organic fertilizer granulator is used to granulate various organic substances after fermentation, breaking through the conventional ...

Can pulse crops play a role in mitigating greenhouse gases from North American agriculture?
The atmospheric buildup of greenhouse gases (GHGs) is a serious environmental issue. Globally, agricultural activities are an important source of anthropogenic GHGs, contributing 20% of the annual atmospheric increase. Management choices largely determine if agricultural soils will be a source, a sink, or will be neutral with respect to GHG net flux. The proportion of agricultural land that is ...

Cuphea nitrogen uptake and seed yield response to nitrogen fertilization
Cuphea (Cuphea viscosissima Jacq. x C. lanceolata W.T. Aiton, PSR23) is an oilseed crop that is a rich source of medium-chain fatty acids. Progress has been made on improving cuphea agronomically, but little is known about N fertility requirements for optimum cuphea production. The objective of this study was to determine the N necessary for maximizing seed yield and oil content. Experiment 1 was ...

Tillage and fertilizer effects on yield, profitability, and risk in a corn-wheat-potato-wheat rotation
Reduced tillage results in lower production costs and thus may have economic advantages for farmers. However, yield penalties, specific yield risks, or higher nutrient requirements may counteract the positive effects of reduced tillage. This study investigates long-term tillage effects (moldboard plow, and deep and shallow chisel plow) and their interactions with N fertilizer input on yields and ...

Using Soil NPK Sensors to Improve Plant Nutrition
Introduction Plant nutrition is a critical aspect of sustainable agriculture, as it directly impacts the growth, development, and yield of crops. Traditional methods of fertilizer application often lead to over- or under-fertilization, resulting in poor plant growth or environmental pollution. With the advent of soil NPK sensors, however, farmers now have a precise and efficient tool to improve ...

Pattison stream jet VR tips for top dressing
Top Dressing in Western Canada We are heading into what is looking like another typical year in agriculture where the only thing that is constant is change and wondering what the weather will do. This year in many areas of the Prairies had a dry fall, little to zero snowpack and what was there melted and ran off early leaving soil moisture levels at almost drought levels. This is leaving many ...

Correlation and calibration of soil potassium availability with rice yield and nutritional status
Soil testing is an important tool for estimating soil K availability and determining how much fertilizer must be applied to realize crop yield potential and minimize fertilizer costs. Our primary objectives were to correlate relative rice (Oryza sativa L.) yield with Mehlich-3 and 1 mol L–1 HNO3 extractable K, define sufficient whole-plant K concentrations at panicle differentiation (PD) and ...

NPK Compound Fertilizer Development and Fertilizer Plant Production
Chemical fertilizer provides nutrients for continuous agricultural production, but single chemical fertilizer hasn't high utilization rate, limited promotion ability to crops, and a large amount of application is not conducive to crop growth. NPK compound fertilizer production has become the main trend of fertilizer. The granulation process of NPK fertilizer production line can make basic ...

Why should we use professional production line to produce fertilizer?
The fertilizer production still needs to be operated by professional npk production line. The chicken manure without fermentation and ripening is used as organic fertilizer after drying, which will ferment and ripen in natural state, which may harm crops and is not conducive to crop growth. Chicken manure into organic fertilizer requires fermentation, ripening, granulation and drying process. ...
