Surface spreading of nitrogen (N) fertilizer in the fall can lead to major N losses. The better option for fall is banding into the soil – preferably as late as possible but not so late that the soil is too cold to reseal around the band…

Five questions on the mathematics of soil sampling and analysis of results… -

The ideal timing for fertilizer application is at seeding, but there are times when an in-crop top up of nitrogen or sulphur makes sense. This article provides tips to make top dressing work in those situations… -
Tissue sampling can be used to diagnose crop problems that may be nutritionally related and to identify any nutrients that may be limiting yields…

Improved crop moisture may have improved the yield potential of canola crops. If nutrient availability does not match this new yield potential, in-crop top-dressing of nitrogen or sulphur (or both) could provide an economic benefit. Find out how to do it…

Canola fields may benefit from a top-dress application of nitrogen or sulphur (or both) if logistics and weather prevented the full recommended application of fertilizer at or before seeding, and if improved weather conditions (rainfall, for example) have increased the yield potential of the crop…
