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.

Fertilizer label changes called costly, unnecessary
Canada’s bulk fertilizer makers now have until July 2026 to update their labels, but industry says the rules will be expensive to implement and won’t actually provide safety gains
Canada’s bulk fertilizer makers now have until July 2026 to update their labels, but industry says rules will be expensive, slow shipments to farmers and won’t actually make the system safer.
Ramp up your nitrogen efficiency in winter cereals: VIDEO
Nitrogen ramps are a tool to help farmers hone fertilizer rates for the best, most efficient winter cereal crop
Nitrogen ramps are a tool to help farmers hone their fertilizer rate for the best, most cost efficient winter wheat or fall rye crop.
Cutting nitrogen in dry beans could pay off for farmers
Manitoba trials test whether farmers can apply less nitrogen to dry beans without losing yield, despite their typically poor nitrogen-fixing capacity
Manitoba research is testing whether applying less nitrogen fertilizer in dry beans can maintain yields while cutting costs and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
On-farm research translates crop breakthroughs into ‘farmer speak’
Field-scale crop research gives commercial acumen and real farm reality check to raw science and small-plot agricultural studies
Manitoba’s three major agriculture grower groups support farm-level research to test crop science under the shifting conditions of real farmer fields.
VIDEO: Yield-eating weeds and pest insects tackled at field day
The University of Manitoba put the spotlight on its in-progress crop research, including the concept of a nurse crop against flea beetles, corn weed control and high-protein canola fertilizer

Soil moisture, more timely application may help limit fall fertilizer loss
Researchers in Western Canada consider ways to keep fall nitrogen fertilizer in place and available for the next crop
Researchers are analyzing the effects of different timings for fall nitrogen application at sites in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, theorizing that N losses correlate with moisture conditions at time of application.
Manitoba research seeks peat moss stand-ins
Blending peat moss with more sustainable alternatives will hopefully help protect precious supplies of the slow-to-regenerate soil booster and horticulture growth medium
