Alberta Farmer Increases Yields With ESN
Ken Krywko of Sturgeon County, Alberta farms with his two sons Dan and …
Traditional nitrogen (N) management practices may be inadequate to fulfill both yield and protein potential of recently introduced high yielding hard red spring wheat varieties. ESN was part of recent Manitoba on-farm-testing to determine the effects on yield and protein levels. Tests were based on use of grower standard N practice as compared to blends of ESN with urea, either side-band or seed row applied.
On-Farm-Trial
Controlled release N (ESN 44-0-0) was applied as a proportion of the standard source N rate at seeding.
Results
Wheat protein response to a portion of N as ESN. (*over columns indicates a significant difference at the 10% probability level). ESN increased protein significantly by 0.2 and 0.4 % points at 2 of the 3 sites.
