Nitrogen dynamics are always complicated, but manure adds a few layers of complexity. Nitrogen availability is impacted by soil texture, soil moisture, organic matter levels in the soil, the form of N applied, and the weather.

Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan are evaluating a new biological for nitrogen fixation in non-legume crops such as canola and wheat. Unlike pulse crops that have the ability to fix N through rhizobia, non-legume crops have to rely on fertilizer N and residual soil N to meet requirements. Identifying other organisms that could provide N fixation in non-legume crops is of interest to researchers and industry.
