The use of dried distillers’ grains with solubles (DDGS) in feedlot cattle diets is increasing as the bio-ethanol industry expands. Manure derived from dried distiller’s grain with solubles (DDGS) fed cattle seem to have ...

Operating costs at farm level can be divided into essential, enhancement, maintenance, protection and insurance. Save growth hormones, which are not common in western Canada, fertilizer and better quality of seed are the ...

A nutrient input – removal workbook was developed to assist CCAs and farmers in understanding the impact of crop management on soil fertility. Used in combination with soil testing, the PKalc program can help with ...

Several soil biochemical processes related to soil fertility are microbially mediated. We know very well the factors limiting crop production but know little of the factors limiting the soil microbial community. The goal ...

Natural Resources Canada, along with a number of Canadian provinces, considers bioenergy to be a legitimate and sustainable source of energy that will constitute a significant portion of future energy production. Shrub ...

This paper briefly highlights some of the contents of a recently completed bulletin, which provides an up-to-date record of the status of our knowledge with regards to crop responses to, and impact on the environment of ...

The objectives of this study are to determine the source and extent of nitrogen and phosphorus contamination in the Rural Municipality of Leroy, and the most likely modes of contaminant transport, using only existing data. ...

Phosphorus (P) fertilization does not always increase crop yields but the repeated use of P may modify the biological properties of soils. The objective of the present study, therefore, was to investigate the effect of ...
