When our agri-advisors receive a question from a farmer, they answer based on the technical and practical knowledge they have gained over the years, as well as all the first-hand experience they have gained in their careers. Our agri-advisors include agronomists and professional technologists, some who grew up on a farm and some who did not, but they all bring their full knowledge to the table when it comes to making informed recommendations to farmers.

Improving fertilizer management is one of the objectives of the Québec government’s Sustainable Agriculture Plan.

Its target is to redue the use of nitrogen fertilizers on crops by 15 % before 2030.

Nitrogen is one of the main components of crop nutrition and has a significant effect on yield. But it also has a major influence on the agricultural industry’s greenhouse gas emissions assessment.

One of the five objectives of Quebec’s Sustainable Agriculture Plan is to reduce the use of pesticides and the risks that they pose to health and the environment.

The Québec government’s Sustainable Agriculture Plan aims to improve soil health and conservation.

At the Lévis Feed Mill, waste disposal costs, including for wood, metal, and cardboard, were much higher than those of similar plants in the Sollio Agriculture network. So, the workers there decided to roll up their sleeves to reduce the environmental footprint of their operations. They began to search their containers for a way to recover the waste, with help from partner companies.

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.
