Understanding the microbial world in the soil is key to finding sustainable agricultural practices that work to protect the environment. Using a unique approach
Agricultural research has been known for carrying out studies on small plots. The arrival of precision ag technologies potentially allows rigorous, replicated studies to
Integration and management of cover crops is challenging due to the immediate time and cost constraints while potential benefits may be long-term. Adjusting cover
Soil compaction and surface crusting degrade soil structure, reducing aeration and root penetration, and ultimately impacting crop performance. With the trend towards larger farms,
Previous research has led to industry recommendations for fertilizer nitrogen rates for Ontario sugarbeet growers that balance increase root yield and high sugar content.
State-of-the-art experiment at Ridgetown comparing several different cover crop monocultures and mixtures to no cover crop in mixed vegetable-grain crop rotations.
