MEDICINE HAT – At a recent Reduced Tillage Conference in Medicine Hat, certified crop consultant Steve Larocque and Jack Payne, an agronomy instructor at Olds College in Olds, Alta., put participants through their paces with various crop diagnostic problems grown out in plastic tubs.
Fertility played a role in many demonstrations, including phosphorus banded with lentils, high rates of nitrogen applied with the seed, a urease inhibitor included to reduce seedling damage and other situations farmers might encounter in their fields.
