Field School 22 - Are crops biostimulated? Dr. Gurbir Dhillon & Mike Gretzinger

Video: Field School 22 - Are crops biostimulated? Dr. Gurbir Dhillon & Mike Gretzinger

Dr. Gurbir Dhillon & Mike Gretzinger gave an update on the final year of our three-year Biostimulants project at Farming Smarter's Field School 2022!

There are multiple projects in the market that claim to stimulate natural biological processes in plant to enhance nutrient uptake, stress tolerance, and yield in crops. However, there is lack of scientifically tested, unbiased information on the field performance of these products known as biostimulants.

We compared the performances of supplementary biostimulant packages (including Alpine, ATP, Penergetic, and Stoller) to the traditional fertilizer inputs based on soil test recommendations for their effect on crop growth and yield in wheat, field pea, and canola. This study is being conducted at three locations, Lethbridge (Farming Smarter), Falher (SARDA Ag Research) and Forestburg (Battle River Ag Research) across brown, grey, and black soil zones in Alberta.
