Mobile field records help farmers and their agri-advisors document and track field operations when they’re on the ground. Read on for an overview of this digital tool, available in AgConnexion | SmartFarm.

“What I like most about Marie‑Pier is that you can tell she’s working for us, for our farm.” That’s what farmer Alexandre Vermette has to say about Marie‑Pier Coulombe, his Agiska Coopérative crop agri‑advisor. What they’ve built is much more than a simple business relationship—it’s a real partnership.

At Sollio Agriculture, we’re constantly adapting our fertilizer supply strategies to reduce costs and meet the many challenges facing the industry. And that flexibility pays off! Our warehouses are stocked up and ready for planting season.

We all know that fertilizer is a major investment for any farm business. That’s why every farmer needs a reliable supplier who can provide quantity, quality, and on‑time delivery at a competitive price.

Sollio Agriculture’s crop production research farm has been innovating for 45 years. These days, scientists at the farm are busy testing seed varieties and agricultural practices aimed at helping farmers adapt to climate change while optimizing crop profitability.

At the Sollio Agriculture crop production research farm, scientists are testing seed varieties and agricultural practices to help Canadian farmers adapt to climate change while optimizing crop profitability. Here’s what they’re working on in 2024.

Farmers need to adapt to climate change. And to do that, they need a solid game plan. That’s where Sollio Agriculture’s sustainable farming diagnostic tool comes in. The easy‑to‑use, customizable tool gives farmers a clear picture of their situation so they can find viable solutions.

hey say that in this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes. Field crop farmers would have to disagree—crop stress is just as certain. That’s why Sollio Agriculture recommends complementing fungicide applications with a biostimulant called Vita Folium.

Analyzing soil in the field with a smart probe may not be such a distant dream after all. For some time now, staff at the Sollio Agriculture crop production research farm in Saint-Hyacinthe have been testing a probe from ChrysaLabs that could be used to adjust farming practices quickly and improve crop fertilization.

For the past two years, members of the research farm’s team have been lugging ChrysaLabs’ futuristic-looking, smart soil-analysis probe around their plots.

Although little known and underestimated, fertilizing residual materials (FRMs) are a cost-saving solution for farmers.

“There’s an FRM for every need, from fertilizing to adding organic matter and correcting pH,” says Simon Naylor, Vice-President and Co-Founder of Viridis environnement. Viridis has a 70% share of the FRM recovery market and delivers 600,000 tonnes of organic matter to 700 farm businesses each year.

Some crops—like corn, cereals, canola and potatoes—have higher input requirements. In such cases, tight application management is key to minimizing fertilizer loss and pollution. That’s where PurYield controlled-release nitrogen comes in.

Corn silage is an essential part of many livestock operations as a primary feed ingredient. Maximizing silage crop performance is key to profitability as a result. So, when you approach corn planting time, it is a good idea to review your corn fertility program and your Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) management strategies.
