25 Oct Canola nutrient and water use efficiencies reviewed

Posted at 20:11h in Agronomy

A research study reviewed factors affecting nitrogen, sulphur and water use efficiencies, and found that 4R stewardship of nutrients and some agronomic practices provided the greatest improvements. Economic and environmental sustainability of canola production is gaining more scrutiny in this era of emissions reductions and climate...

13 Aug Band nitrogen to reduce losses, improve NUE
