Trial Name: 2023 Nitrogen Release
Description
Objective: investigate the effect of various forms of N-enhanced efficiency fertilizers in the development and yield of different varieties of wheat in the Peace region of Alberta
While yield production of spring wheat is improved by intensified agricultural strategies and novel genetic varieties, optimal soil N release and precise N uptake by crops is still an ambiguous question. At the Agriculture and Agri-food Canada in Lethbridge, Dr. Brian Beres has a research program evaluating different forms of fertilizers, designed to provide N availability to wheat crops better than N provided through banded Urea. This experiment focuses on exploring N-enhanced efficiency fertilizers (EEF) set at different rates and placed banded at different development stages. The goal is to observe if a certain EEF can improve overall yield.
