EcoTea microbial soil treatment gets stress-tested at MBFI
EcoTea biostimulant was applied to cereal forage crops at Manitoba Beef and Forage Initiatives north of Brandon this year, with some initially good results
Plot research on a microbial biostimulant at Manitoba Beef and Forage Initiatives’ farm points to modest yield advantages for growers, though field variations may sway the data. Further study is planned.
On-farm research translates science into ‘farmer speak’
On Farm Research Network program’s field-scale plots give commercial acumen to raw research and small-plot studies
Manitoba’s three major agriculture grower groups support farm-level research to test crop science under the shifting conditions of real farmer fields.
Prairie forecast: Cool east, warm west
Forecast issued September 3, covering Sept. 3 to 10, 2025
We start this period with a large upper low over northern Ontario, an area of Arctic high pressure building southwards over Manitoba and strong but narrow upper ridge of high pressure over B.C.
