SULPHUR INFLUENCE IN CANOLA PRODUCTION

Soil fertility and fertilizer management directly influence yield and quality in canola. To avoid deficiencies, sulphur application should be based on the uptake needs of the crop and the anticipated yield. Canola also has a high requirement for boron. Like sulphate, boron is mobile in the soil and can move out of the root zone with excessive rainfall or irrigation, leading to deficiencies. Supply your canola crop with TIGER 90CR®, TIGER XP, or TIGER Boron 2%® to unlock better yields and ROI. >> Learn more

Creating agronomic sustainability

In Canada, 40% of food losses occur at the retail level before the food ever sees a grocery cart. The Bio-Cycle production model reduces compostable food waste – upwards of 32 tonnes per day – to create a sulphur amended compost blend. With our strict processing requirements, our compost ensures a healthy mix of microbes end up in the soil. Then when mixed with elemental sulphur, this blend puts food back into the food chain.

Sustainability – creating a productive and viable agricultural future – is the core of our business. Contact us to learn more!
