Carman Research Looking At Updating Nitrogen Recommendations For Spring Wheat

 
Research on nitrogen levels is currently being done at the University of Manitoba's Ian N. Morrison site in Carman.
 
Amy Mangin discussed her work at an event held last month.
 
"We're looking at updating some of the nitrogen recommendations for spring wheat, just because a lot of our Manitoba recommendations for nitrogen were based off of lower yielding varieties and they're recommending extremely high amounts of nitrogen for these new varieties that can yield 80 to 100 pounds per acre."

We are taking students out to southern Manitoba to Hespler Farms! Farmer Wayne will teach students how he plants and cares for his potato crop and why potatoes are such a unique crop to grow. Teachers, check out your AITC Dashboard for Math'd Potatoes, a potato-themed classroom resource to pair with this tour video. Thank you to Peak of the Market and Penner Farm Services for making this event possible.
