Inaugural Agtech Awards presented at Agribition

The first-ever Canadian Animal AgTech Awards at the Canadian Western Agribition honoured three unique technological innovations yesterday.

Shaun Kindopp, CEO of Canadian Western Agribition said the awards are the first of their kind, honouring the innovators in animal agricultural technology.

“Not only do these solutions make farmers’ lives easier, but they also contribute to the growth and progress of the entire agricultural industry,” Kindopp said.

Three winners were selected following a pitch-style competition this week. Judging was based on three criteria: Technology, Team & Experience, and Market Potential & Finance.

Understanding Nitrogen Loss Through Denitrification

Video: Understanding Nitrogen Loss Through Denitrification

Denitrification is one of the three main pathways for nitrogen loss, but what is it really, and how much nitrogen do we stand to lose?

In this episode, Lyle Cowell is joined by Dr. Erin Daly from the University of Guelph to break down denitrification and the conditions that drive nitrogen loss in the soil. They explore how nitrogen can be lost as nitrous oxide and nitrogen gas, what conditions drive losses and when they are most likely to occur.

Erin also shares how CanN2ONet, a national research network, is helping us better understand nitrous oxide emissions across Canada. From field towers that measure emissions to research into regionally tailored best management practices, discover how the network is working to help growers improve nitrogen use efficiency and help reduce nitrogen losses across the country.
