Pulse acreage in Saskatchewan is expected to see an increase this year.

Dr Jeff Schoeneau is a Professor of Soil Science at the University of Saskatchewan.

He notes from a nutrient management standpoint pulses can obtain a certain amount of the nitrogen they need from the air through fixation:

"Proper inoculation of the seed with a superior nitrogen-fixing strain of the rhizobium species is important to get maximum fixation. Fertility of other nutrients like phosphorus is important to achieve maximum yield, maximum fixation, as well," he said.
