Assessing Nutrient Content of Crops and Nutrient Removal as Affected by Management Practices
A study to identify mineral nutrient removal in the harvested portion of crops grown in western Canada.
IPNI-2001-CAN-MB14
Current information on the nutrient removal from western Canadian soils using existing and proposed cropping systems is limited. Long-term nutrient depletion could have important negative impacts on soil productivity and long-term sustainability. Changes in farming practices over the past decade have influenced both yield potential and nutrient cycling, so past information on nutrient removal may not reflect the current situation. Read more
