Corn plants need boron throughout the growing season. The uptake curve for the micronutrient is pretty linear from emergence to black layer, but making boron available in the ear later in the season, where it plays an important role in sugar movement and developing kernels, can be difficult. The challenge, says AGRIS Co-operative senior agronomist.…

Genesis Fertilizers is looking to meet the nitrogen fertilizer needs of Canadian crops with a farmer-owned urea fertilizer plant planned for Belle Plaine, Sask. C…
