Never Stop Growing: How Our Greenhouse Elevates Agriculture and Product Testing to the Next Level

Our modern greenhouse facility in Nisku, Alta. offers unparalleled flexibility for improved crop diagnostics and innovative product testing and sets the standard for modern agricultural product testing. The 24×7 greenhouse facility offers an additional growing season, giving you a competitive edge in product development and grow-out trials. At 20/20 Seed Labs, we pride ourselves on being a comprehensive solution provider for all your seed needs. We can test every aspect of a product development pipeline, whether it is the seeds of your dream or a dream product for your seeds.

Our comprehensive grow-out trials and tailored testing services will assist you in meeting your objectives. Since the launch of the greenhouse, we have handled a breadth of projects, including assessment of seed treatment efficacy, micronutrient status post product application, disease ratings of common pathogens in cereals, herbicide tolerance, fungicide and inoculant response, and many special projects.

A great illustration of our capabilities includes a recent project we steered for a client that involved a foliar spray designed to increase the levels of a specific micronutrient. Using our grow-out facility and a range of experiments, we were able to provide our clients with the information they needed to evaluate the effectiveness of their product.

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.
