Webinar – Optimizing Nitrogen Efficiency

Optimizing Nitrogen Efficiency: Best Practices for Sustainable Corn Production (Virtual)

Living Lab – Ontario is a five-year innovation project that brings together farmers, organizations, researchers, and other experts to co-develop, test, and evaluate beneficial management practices (BMPs) that address climate change challenges in livestock and cropping systems.

In this webinar, you’ll hear from two AAFC researchers, Craig Drury and David Pelster, examining and developing various 4R nutrient management strategies, including inhibitors and incorporation, through agronomic field trials and GHG measurements. The goal of this research is to enhance nitrogen use efficiency and productivity while mitigating the environmental impact of corn production in Ontario.

Funding for the project has been provided by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada under the Agricultural Climate Solutions – Living Labs program, and core partners. For more information, visit www.ontariosoilcrop.org/livinglab/

One of the Most Important Passes on Our Corn Crop

Video: One of the Most Important Passes on Our Corn Crop


All of our crops are finally in the ground, and now we're making one of the most important passes of the season. In this video, we side-dress our corn with nitrogen and sulfur using a 16-row applicator, placing the nutrients right between the rows before the crop enters its rapid growth stage. This fertilizer will help feed the corn through the summer as it takes off and pushes toward harvest.
