Mike Weddel, president at Stratus Ag Research, sat down with Cassandra Cotton from Fertilizer Canada on RealAgriculture radio to dig into Stratus’ latest research on 4R implementation in canola rotations.
On of Weddel’s biggest takeaways? When fertilizer rates are set by an ag retailer or independent crop advisor, compliance with 4R principles is significantly higher. Ag retailers and their staff play a crucial role in driving 4R compliance across Canada!
Why does this matter?
- It supports long-term soil health and sustainability
- It helps ensure fertilizer is applied at the right rate, in the right place, at the right time
- It can save farmers money by reducing over-application
