In 2024, the team at Sollio Agriculture’s research farm conducted many research projects in sustainable agriculture. We tested a smart sprayer, herbicide banding, and the use of drone technology to sow cover crops, all in an effort to reduce risk indices and improve soil health. The results are promising, both agronomically and economically.

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.

AgroCarbone Grandes Cultures is a program aimed at developing viable business models to help field crop farmers reach the targets for reducing agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Our governments are aware of the impact of climate change and will continue to tighten regulations in the coming years. The challenge for farmers is twofold. They have to:

1. Adapt to climate change

2. Change course when GHG reduction targets change

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.

Although weather has a big impact on yields, planning sowing is essential for optimizing soybean yield.

With adequate soil conditions, optimum pH, and well-managed compaction, the two management points most likely to increase your soybean yield are:

1. Planting date

2. Variety choice

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.
