Fertilizer
Crop production agri-advisors offer state-of-the-art fertilization strategies and products to optimize crop profitability.
How to better manage nitrogen in the field
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.
Adjuvants for crop protection
Adjuvants are substances that help pesticides disperse more effectively in order to better coat and stick to plants.
Research has shown that up to 70 % of the effectiveness of pesticides depends on how they are applied. A product may be good, but it has to be applied correctly to reach its full potential.
How to improve water management on the farm
One of the five objectives of Quebec’s Sustainable Agriculture Plan is to optimize water management in agriculture.
Water quality allows us to assess the efforts of the agricultural industry to reduce its environmental footprint. Using water responsibly and protecting water quality on farms and in drainage basins are key to combating climate change.
