SUMMARY:Nitrogen Management Strategies to Increase Nitrogen Availability in Crops
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin a virtual event with Craig Drury\, from  Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada at the Harrow Research & Development Centre presenting on nitrogen management strategies to increase nitrogen availability to crops. \nWhen nitrogen fertilizer is added to soils\, it undergoes enzymatic and microbial reactions and some of these processes can result in losses of a very expensive fertilizer input. This presentation will provide examples of different approaches that could be used to help your farm operation reduce these losses and increase the amount of nitrogen available to your crops.  Field trials conducted over the last 12 years have examined different nitrogen fertilizer sources (including inhibitors)\, application methods (broadcast\, broadcast & incorporated\, or injection)\, timing (planting\, side-dress\, late application) and fertilizer rates. A recent study has also looked at some of these nitrogen management practices when cover crops are present.  Results from these field studies as well as those from the 2024 living lab trials will be presented and discussed. \nWhen? Tuesday June 23\, 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm \nREGISTER HERE! \nNitrogen Management Strategies to Increase Nitrogen Availability in Crops is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Nitrogen Management category.

Online through Google Meet \n Visit the link to register! \nCost? Webinars are $45 each\, with additional package pricings to register for the entire 5-part Program. \n  \n

SUMMARY:March Manure Mondays
DESCRIPTION:March Manure Mondays 2025 Poster\n\n\n\nMARCH MANURE MONDAYS 2025 from 2pm-3pm (ET) \nMarch 10th – Fine-tuning Manure Nutrient Availability\nManure application can reduce fertilizer needs\, improve soil health and increase yields. Kirsten Workman and Quirine Ketterings (Cornell\, NY) will provide an overview of manure research that helped quantify the nitrogen replacement value from manure to determine MERN (most economic rate of N) as well as the impacts to microbial biomass for sites with and without manure. \nMarch 17th – In-crop application using 360 Rain to improve 4R practices\nHandling the dilute liquids that remain after solids separation is expensive and time consuming. Scott Shearer (Ohio State U) will discuss the opportunities of new technology like 360 Rain for in-crop application of manure liquids for improved 4R nutrient management\, water management yields in a value-enhanced circular economy. \nMarch 31st Application strategies to maximize N and reduce GHG losses in the field.\nNitrogen inhibitors help reduce N loss and nitrous oxide emissions for fertilizer\, but what about manure? Heather Darby (U of Vermont) and Debbie Aller will evaluate research results that compare application timing\, injection vs surface application\, use of biochar and other technologies that can reduce emissions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere? Online through Zoom \n  \n Visit the link to register! \n  \nMarch Manure Monday sessions for March 10\, 17 and 31st  is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Nitrogen Management category.  \n
