New foliar-applied nitrogen enters Canadian market
Tidal Grow AgriScience is introducing its Intelligent Leaf Delivery Technology nitrogen fertilizer in Canada.
Lightning gives and takes in Prairie fields
Practical Research: Certain types of storms provide almost 15 per cent of the world’s fixed nitrogen fertilizer
Lightning in fields can be a source of nitrogen but at times can result in crop damage which, at a glance, resembles a very localized disease outbreak, plant pathologist Ieuan Evans writes.
California researchers create nitrogen-fixing wheat
U.S. crop breeders have created a wheat variety capable of creating its own nitrogen fertilizer.
Ramp up your nitrogen efficiency in winter cereals
Nitrogen ramps are a tool to help farmers hone fertilizer rates for the best, most efficient winter cereal crop
Nitrogen ramps are a tool to help farmers hone their fertilizer rate for the best, most cost-efficient winter wheat or fall rye crop.
Syngenta rolls out Envita Dry nitrogen-fixing biological
Envita Dry ‘gives plants ability to source additional nitrogen from atmosphere’
A new formulation of the Envita bacterium distributed by Syngenta is expected to help farmers tap into more of the nitrogen crops need throughout the season — without adding more fertilizer.
Urea stands tall, production-wise, against ‘alternative’ nitrogen fertilizers
N stabilizers did their job but offered little value to wheat yield, says project lead
A two-year Alberta project finds old-school granular urea is still the most effective nitrogen fertilizer source for spring wheat yield when compared to “alternative” forms of granular N, at least at the sites studied.
Lower nitrogen rates in dry beans could pay off for farmers
Manitoba trials test whether farmers can apply less nitrogen to dry beans without losing yield, despite their typically poor nitrogen-fixing capacity
Manitoba research is testing whether reduced nitrogen fertilizer in dry beans can maintain yields while cutting costs and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
Green Lightning and Nytro Ag win sustainability innovation award
Recipient says accepting award was a humbling experience
Nytro Ag Corp and Green Lightning recieved an innovation award at Ag in Motion 2025 for the Green Lightning Nitrogen Machine, which converts atmospheric nitrogen into a plant-usable form.
Cutting the nitrous oxide emissions without losing yields
Better nitrogen management promises to both protect crop yields and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fertilizer; new research looks to verify how much difference it actually makes
