Fertilizer to fight leafy spurge
Applying fertilizer could encourage soil fungi in Western Canadian pastures to become parasitic and sap resources from leafy spurge plants if the soil nutrients are rich enough —at least, that’s the idea behind recent research out of Saskatchewan
Leafy spurge is a tenacious, invasive pasture weed in Western Canada. New research suggests that fertilizer may have a role in how farmers can better beat back the threat and reclaim productivity on that grazing land.
Farmers, don’t get trapped by herbicide resistance
Canadian farmers can stretch out how long herbicides work, but nature is designed to help weeds develop resistance
Canada’s farmers can stretch out how long herbicides work, but nature is designed to help weeds develop herbicide resistance eventually.
