Enhancing Soil & Crop
Sustainability in New Brunswick

New Brunswick Soil & Crop Improvement Association

The soil and crop movement in New Brunswick began in 1977 through the formation of several local associations. The number of locals grew, and a provincial board comprised of two directors from each local was established -- New Brunswick Soil and Crop Improvement Association.

We have eight active locals: Northeast (CCNE), Northshore (Bathurst), Moncton, Chignecto (Sackville), Kings County, Central (Fredericton), Northwest (Edmundston) and Carleton County. Directors at both the local and provincial levels are volunteers. Annual membership fees are set by the provincial board with a portion remitted to the locals.

Have a look at this

Have a look at this article from Farmtario on research being done in Manitoba on the ability to reduce nitrogen rates with the use of nitrification inhibitors. Not only is nitrogen fertilizer expensive, but it also poses great environmental risk. The ability to cut back on nitrogen rates would benefit both farm cheque books and the surrounding environment.

Jetez un coup d’œil à cet article de Farmtario sur la recherche effectuée au Manitoba sur la capacité de réduire les taux d’azote avec l’utilisation d’inhibiteurs de nitrification. Non seulement l’engrais azoté est cher, mais il présente également un grand risque environnemental. La capacité de réduire les taux d’azote serait avantageuse pour les chéquiers agricoles et l’environnement.
