This growth of the human family will result in a 70% rise in food demand.  Can such food production increases be met, and if so, what will the impacts be on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate change? A recently published scientific journal article (Burney et al.]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 05 Dec 2012 22:06:03 GMT</pubDate></item>

Soil tests indicate the relative capacity of soil to provide nutrients to plants.  Therefore, this summary can be viewed as an indicator of the nutrient supplying capacity or fertility of soils in NA.]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 05 Dec 2012 21:59:19 GMT</pubDate></item>

The development of a system to subdivide fields into three differentially managed zones is based on research and field experience looking at N management for sugarbeet production.]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 05 Dec 2012 21:53:32 GMT</pubDate></item>

This was accomplished through a joint effort of a private industry soil fertility research unit (now part of Viterra, Inc. ) and Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives (MAFRI).  They cooperated in reviewing, evaluating, and extracting pertinent research results to use in the updating.]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 05 Dec 2012 20:42:44 GMT</pubDate></item>

The acres planted to canola continue to increase in all provinces and states in the NGP.  This has resulted in total acres in the NGP going from 13,205,000 acres in year 2000 up to the all time high of 22,491,000 acres in 2012.  Canola consumes more S per bushel of harvested grain compared to cereal crops.
