When it comes to fertilizing your crops, you don’t have to compromise. Folium³ high-end foliar fertilizers contain everything you need to optimize your plants’ growth all season long.

Interview with account manager Christine Bourbonnais.

Highly effective in weed management, BioLink® Herbicide EC is garnering rave reviews from both organic and conventional farmers. This powerful, fast-acting tool attacks weeds and can be rotated to avoid resistance to herbicides.

The difficult winters and droughts of the last few years have put a strain on hay production. As a result, inventories are so low on Québec farms that some are talking about a shortage. To optimize yields and replenish inventories, meadows must be properly fertilized with N-Prairies fertilizers for pulses and grasses.

Québec’s forage stocks for 2021 are generally healthy, but things are more complicated for some farmers who must innovate to avoid finding themselves with an empty warehouse. Fortunately, some by-products and feeds, including Synchro F-Plus and Totalveau, can be used to substitute part of the forage in your rations.

Assessing forage stocks

Before making any decisions, the first thing that you should do is conduct proper inventory assessments—one of your forage stocks and especially one of the animals to be fed in the coming year.

Colostrum intake has a significant positive impact on the growth and health of beef calves during their first months of life. These effects will persist into adulthood. Still, we have to make sure that the calf consumes enough. This is where the Sollio Agriculture colostrum substitute comes into play. An overview with agronomist and beef production agri-advisor, Elizabeth Lepage.

More and more horticulturists are using biostimulants to improve their yields and harvest quality.

The science behind these innovative products is not as complex as it seems, according to Sollio Agriculture account manager Christine Bourbonnais.

Here at Sollio Agriculture’s research farm, we leave nothing to chance. It takes several years of research and field work all over the country to get a product to your field. Our team even bakes bread and hand makes certain crop varieties. It’s that kind of attention to detail and commitment to sustainable innovation that ultimately helps farmers improve their yields.

Single ingredients representative Sylvain Gélinas is quick to admit it: “Before 2020, Sollio Agriculture was not a major player in the market for single ingredients for making feed on the farm.” The tide turned when the network began to invest in this key area of livestock production at the request of its members.

The Sollio Agriculture team is always monitoring the latest developments in dairy production. Every year, experts review studies and talk with researchers around the world to learn about the latest trends. They convey this knowledge to agri-advisors, who then pass it on to you and others on the ground. In this article, we present the 2021 trends in forage production.
