Description

VGN Resources Group Inc. will administer projects under the Ministry of Agriculture and Food's extension programming for environment and climate change. The project focuses on residual soil nitrate in agricultural fields, particularly in silage corn fields in North Okanagan, B.C., which are susceptible to nitrogen losses. The goal is to establish two on-farm research trials to determine the nitrate uptake potential of cover crop species such as barley, rye, triticale, and wheat, and to assess their yield, forage quality, and nitrogen uptake. This 12-month project aims to explore strategies to reduce residual fall nitrate and its environmental impact.
