Equipment upgrades, new technologies and knowledge from decades of research have aided in the improvements and evolution of application practices. Considering current nitrogen and phosphorus-containing fertilizer application options, what are the best fertilizer placement options for canola in Western Canada?
Enhanced efficiency means reduced losses. Fertilizer additives to increase efficiency are most effective in high-risk scenarios – which include high moisture soils, fall application and surface application. Low soil moisture usually means minimal risk of nitrogen loss, but an EEF might help in one scenario.
Mark your calendars for the remaining four webinars in the agronomy series. Dates are January 13, February 24, March 24 and April 13. CCAs can receive credits for attending. We share a few tips from the December 13 webinar on targeting seed traits to maximize hybrid potential.
Farmers have many technology options that could increase yields. This article focuses on three under-utilized precision tools – tools that have been around for a few years and are not as popular as they should be.
This is the third article in a four-part yield series for the Canola Digest 2021-22 season.
With steps to improve seed survival, canola growers can stretch the seed supply to cover as many acres as possible while also achieving the target stand needed for yield potential.
