U of G nitrogen management research featured in Ontario Grain Farmer Magazine

Three U of G projects funded by the Alliance and Grain Farmers of Ontario investigate:

• Carbon footprint in the production of corn, wheat, soybeans and spring cerealts (Dr. Claudia Wagner-Riddle and Dr. Alfons Weersink, with colleagues Dr. Laura Van Eerd and Dr. Joshua Nasielski)
• Cover crop and nitrogen research looks at whether cover crops enhance nitrogen availability to corn while, at the same time, also enhancing organic nitrogen and carbon storage in the soil (Dr. Laura Van Eerd and Ph.D. student Yajun Peng)
• The effectiveness of legume-based cover crops in providing nitrogen benefits to a subsequent corn crop (Dr. Kim Schneider, graduate student Daniel Colcuc, and Dr. Elizabeth Lee; with colleagues Dr. John Lauzon and Jake Munroe, OMAFRA soil management specialist)
