Researcher:

Project Code:

CARP 9318

Final Report:

February 2007

Summary:

This study developed seed placed fertilizer rate recommendations for use when direct seeding canola with air seeders that have wide distribution patterns of seed and fertilizer. The study results were used to assist in developing guidelines for seed placed rates of fertilizer published in the Saskatchewan Agriculture and Food Farm Facts titled Guidelines for safe rates of fertilizer applied with the seed.
