Split nitrogen application: Manitoba farm puts timing to the test
Hartney-area farmers experiment with spreading nitrogen across multiple passes, matching fertilizer timing to crop demand
Iran war catches Prairie farmers in the geopolitical crossfire — again
Prairie farmers didn’t ask for a Mideast conflict to squeeze global fuel and fertilizer supply chains — threatening to send farm costs spiking — but here we are

Cereal lodging isn’t just a nitrogen problem
Lack of copper in the soil can also lead wheat crops to lodge during wet seasons on the Canadian Prairies

New foliar-applied nitrogen enters Canadian market
Tidal Grow AgriScience is introducing its Intelligent Leaf Delivery Technology nitrogen fertilizer in Canada.
The global quest for non-legume nitrogen fixing
Nitrogen-fixing cereals? California researchers grew wheat that fixed its own nitrogen, but commercialized seed production is a long ways away

No fertilizer price relief expected for this year
Turmoil in Iran, lower production in Europe and restricted exports from China will likely help keep fertilizer prices high
StoneX analyst Josh Linville does not see much relief in sight on the nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer prices for farmers in 2026.
How to succeed at 4R fertilizer management on your farm
Agronomy Management: The “right” approach for on-farm nutrient management and fertilizer varies from region to region in Western Canada
4R nutrient management must be farm-specific — geared for the unique crops, cropping practices, soils and climatic conditions of that farm, researcher Ross McKenzie writes.
Nutrien pays farmers for efficient nitrogen
Nutrien’s Sustainable Nitrogen Outcomes (SNO) program pays Prairie farmers to limit nitrogen loss and, therefore, fertilizer-related greenhouse gas emissions.

Code cracked on nitrogen-fixing wheat?
California researchers used gene editing to create wheat plants that can fix their own nitrogen.
U.S. crop breeders have created a wheat variety capable of fixing its own nitrogen rather than relying on fertilizer.
