Pulse Canada 2022-23 Annual Report

I am pleased to present members with Pulse Canada’s 2022-23 Annual Report. As we reflect on the past year, it is evident our organization has achieved significant milestones and tackled some big challenges thanks to the dedication and collaborative efforts of our members, partners, and staff. 

Canada’s pulse industry is experiencing dynamic growth and transformation. As you will see throughout this report, it is our collective commitment to innovation, sustainability, and business-forward policy making that has propelled us forward. Over the past year, Pulse Canada played a pivotal role in advocating for the interests of our members and representing the pulse sector at both the national and international levels. 

This year, the Board of Directors developed a new strategic plan, building off the work done from our 25 by 2025 initiative. Our vision is simple – a world where Canadian pulses are the preferred choice. To make this vision a reality, we are focusing on six key areas to help pulses pave the way to a healthier and more sustainable future with solutions for every link in the value chain. You can read more about this report and dive deeper into each pillar here.

Dr. Emerson Nafziger: Nitrogen Fertilizer Rates for Corn

Video: Dr. Emerson Nafziger: Nitrogen Fertilizer Rates for Corn

The Crop Science Podcast Show, Dr. Emerson Nafziger from the University of Illinois breaks down decades of nitrogen research. From the evolution of N rate guidelines to how soil health and hybrid genetics influence nitrogen use efficiency, this conversation unpacks the science behind smarter fertilization. Improving how we set nitrogen fertilizer rates for rainfed corn is a key focus. Discover why the MRTN model matters more than ever, and how shifting mindsets and better data can boost yields and environmental outcomes. Tune in now on all major platforms!

"The nitrogen that comes from soil mineralization is the first nitrogen the plant sees, and its role is underestimated."

Meet the guest:

Dr. Emerson Nafziger is Professor Emeritus of Crop Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, with degrees in agronomy from Ohio State, Purdue, and Illinois. His research has focused on nitrogen rate strategies and crop productivity. He co-developed the Maximum Return to Nitrogen (MRTN) model, which is widely used across the Midwest. His research spans N response trials, hybrid interactions, crop rotation effects, and yield stability.
