Cutting nitrous oxide emissions without cutting the crop
Better nitrogen management promises to both protect crop yields and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fertilizer; new research looks to verify how much difference it actually makes

VIDEO: There’s more than one way to lose nitrogen from your soil
With fertilizer being one of the most expensive crop inputs to help reach your yields, making sure it stays put for your plants to take it up is essential. Unfortunately, this is not always as easy as it sounds. At Manitoba Ag Days last month, Bryce Geisel, senior agronomist with Koch Agronomic Services, offered a

Winter cold doesn’t stop all fertilizer emissions, new research shows
New research shows the Prairie deep freeze slows, but does not stop, nitrogen emissions
Fall fertilizer doesn’t emit nitrogen over winter, right? Wrong, according to new research: biological activity and nitrogen emissions slow, but don’t stop.
Nutrient reduction targets launched for Manitoba waterways
New regulations set out how much nitrogen and phosphorus should be coming into Lake Winnipeg
New regulations have set numbers for how much nitrogen and phosphorus nutrient should be coming into Lake Winnipeg, which it hopes will help combat the lake's algae issues.

Nutrien misses quarterly profit estimates as potash prices plummet
Fertilizer demand expected to rise in Q4
Reuters — Nutrien fell short of analysts’ estimates for third-quarter profit on Wednesday, as lower potash prices weighed on the world’s biggest fertilizer producer. Potash prices have been falling after shipments from Belarus and Russia resumed. These exports had been significantly restricted last year following Western sanctions imposed on Russia in response to its invasion
More affordability, usage of fertilizers in 2024, analyst says
Israel's fertilizer output normal for now
MarketsFarm — While global fertilizer prices were projected to be steady to higher in 2024, overall affordability is set to improve while usage will increase, according to one analyst. Samuel Taylor, a New York City-based farm inputs analyst for RaboResearch Food and AgriBusiness, delivered a presentation on the fertilizer market during the firm’s Fall Harvest
Researchers call for more pea acres
Peas are a powerhouse. Not only do they sport a low carbon footprint and contain a high amount of protein, but they come with their own nitrogen. So why aren’t more acres planted? Why it matters: Peas have seen a resurgence in Manitoba with the entry of new processors in recent years. The biggest reason is risk of root
