Video: Biological Nitrogen Fixation for All Crops - Phil Bernardin

Phil grew up in Manitoba and spent time in the seed and equipment industries before joining Engage Agro/Belchim Canada in Saskatchewan, where he conducted research with plant regulators, specifically chlormequat chloride (Manipulator), and bringing it to market in western Canada.

More recently Phil has joined Azotic North America to develop Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus (Envita), a nitrogen fixing bacteria for both legume and non-legume crops and bring it to market.

Phil will review the science behind Envita, what it is and how it works, and provide small plot replicated and large-scale trial results in a number of crops including wheat and canola. Phil will also cover best management practices on how to incorporate Envita into existing agronomic programs.
