Did you know our Nutrient Management Planning Web Series is eligible for CCA/CEU credits?

This series is supported by the NB Soil & Crop Improvement Association, Perennia, the PEI Federation of Agriculture, and the Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Agriculture. Funding for this project has been provided by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada through the Agricultural Solutions (ACS) - On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF). This series is presented at no-cost for attendees.

We have 4 of 6 sessions remaining in the series, register today: forms.office.com/r/Pf3WeHi714
Meeting links will be share the morning of the session

3. April 27 - Nitrogen management – Nitrogen is one of the most important and most expensive fertilizers used in crop production. This webinar will examine methods for increasing nitrogen use efficiency and increasing profit from effective nitrogen use.

4. May 4 - Phosphorus management – The management of phosphorus is complicated by its behaviour in soil. This webinar will discuss how phosphorus reacts once added to soil and how fertilizer strategies can be used to increase the availability and efficiency of phosphorus use.

5. May 11 - Base cations – The low cation exchange capacity of many of the soils in New Brunswick makes the management of base cations like potassium, calcium, and magnesium more complicated. We will examine the role of organic matter management, pH management, and direct supplementation in maintaining base cation availability to the crop.

6. May 19 (Tues) - Manure and organic amendment management – Organic amendments such as manure represent an important opportunity to build soil organic matter and supply nutrients to the crop. It is critical that these amendments be managed and applied in a matter that is most effective in realizing those goals. This webinar will discuss the management of organic amendments and how their nutrient value should be considered in nutrient management.

Saviez-vous que notre série Web sur la planification de la gestion des nutriments donne droit à des crédits CCA/CEU ?

Cette série est soutenue par la NB Soil & Crop Improvement Association, Perennia, la PEI Federation of Agriculture et la Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Agriculture. Le financement de ce projet a été fourni par Agriculture et Agroalimentaire Canada par l'intermédiaire du programme Solutions agricoles (ACS) - Fonds d'action climatique à la ferme (FACF). Cette série est offerte gratuitement aux participants.

Il reste 4 sessions sur les 6 prévues dans la série, inscrivez-vous dès aujourd'hui : forms.office.com/r/Pf3WeHi714
Les liens pour accéder à la réunion seront communiqués le matin même de la session. Le session est disponible en anglais seulment.

3. 27 avril - Gestion de l'azote – L'azote est l'un des engrais les plus importants et les plus coûteux utilisés dans la production végétale. Ce webinaire examinera les méthodes permettant d'améliorer l'efficacité de l'utilisation de l'azote et d'augmenter les bénéfices grâce à une utilisation efficace de l'azote.

4. 4 mai – Gestion du phosphore – La gestion du phosphore est compliquée par son comportement dans le sol. Ce webinaire abordera la manière dont le phosphore réagit une fois ajouté au sol et comment les stratégies de fertilisation peuvent être utilisées pour accroître la disponibilité et l’efficacité de l’utilisation du phosphore.

5. 11 mai – Cations basiques – La faible capacité d’échange cationique de nombreux sols du Nouveau-Brunswick complique la gestion des cations basiques tels que le potassium, le calcium et le magnésium. Nous examinerons le rôle de la gestion de la matière organique, de la gestion du pH et de la supplémentation directe dans le maintien de la disponibilité des cations basiques pour les cultures.

6. 19 mai (mardi) – Gestion du fumier et des amendements organiques – Les amendements organiques tels que le fumier constituent un moyen important d’enrichir la matière organique du sol et d’apporter des nutriments aux cultures. Il est essentiel que ces amendements soient gérés et appliqués de la manière la plus efficace pour atteindre ces objectifs. Ce webinaire abordera la gestion des amendements organiques et la manière dont leur valeur nutritive doit être prise en compte dans la gestion des nutriments. ... Voir plusVoir moins

This series will be comprised of six webinars addressing the following topics:

1. April 13 - Soil sampling and understanding basic soil properties relevant to nutrient management – To effectively manage nutrients you need to understand what the soil already can supply and the limitations to crop growth that the site presents. This webinar will consider the most effective methods for sampling soils and the use of that information to optimize nutrient management within the field.

2. April 20 - Importance of pH management – In Atlantic Canada one of the most important aspects of improving nutrient use efficiency is the management of soil pH. This webinar will discuss what soil pH is, how it is measured, how it impacts nutrient use efficiency, and how we can effectively manage soil pH.

3. April 27 - Nitrogen management – Nitrogen is one of the most important and most expensive fertilizers used in crop production. This webinar will examine methods for increasing nitrogen use efficiency and increasing profit from effective nitrogen use.

4. May 4 - Phosphorus management – The management of phosphorus is complicated by its behaviour in soil. This webinar will discuss how phosphorus reacts once added to soil and how fertilizer strategies can be used to increase the availability and efficiency of phosphorus use.
