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.

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
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
Manitoba researchers hope blending peat moss with more sustainable alternatives will help protect precious supplies of the slow-to-regenerate soil booster and horticulture growth medium.
Precision 4R cuts farm greenhouse gas emissions
Lower areas in your field tend to emit more greenhouse gas, research shows that precision 4R nutrient stewardship practices can help mute the trend

Organic farms need soil testing too
Organic farmers should take a lesson from conventional farming when it comes to testing for soil nutrients and benchmarking fields frequently: University of Manitoba researcher

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.
Inhibitors show strong N2O emission reductions in winter wheat
Many treatments seem to immediately meet emissions reduction target
