Researchers will compare it to commonly used uncoated urea fertilizer to assess its impact on corn grain growth, yield, and quality, as well as greenhouse gas emissions. Previous trials showed a 30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The new study aims to validate these environmental benefits over five years, with funding from Sollio and a grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. 聽</p> Wed, 26 Jul 2023 18:34:18 +0000 webfull 190700 at /channels /channels/channels/news/whalen-speaks-ilo-session-emerging-green-economy-africa-343965 <p>Prof. <a href="/nrs/academic-0/whalen">Joann Whalen</a> (NRS) was an invited speaker at a recent session hosted by the AgriEdge program at Morocco鈥檚 Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) and the ProAgro Program at the International Labor Organization (ILO).</p> Wed, 30 Nov 2022 19:38:53 +0000 webfull 184978 at /channels /channels/channels/news/whalen-offers-expert-view-status-soil-health-canada-342676 <p>On September 29<sup>th</sup>, James 鲍鱼直播 Professor Joann Whalen, Natural Resource Sciences, testified as an expert before Canada鈥檚 Standing Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry on the topic of 鈥淩eview and report on the status of soil health in Canada鈥�.</p> <p>Watch her testimony on <a href="https://senparlvu.parl.gc.ca/Harmony/en/PowerBrowser/PowerBrowserV2?fk=586457&globalStreamId=3"><i>ParlVu (09:43:59)</i></a></p> Thu, 06 Oct 2022 17:58:54 +0000 webfull 183428 at /channels /channels/channels/news/mcgill-researchers-granted-38m-toward-sustainable-agriculture-339320 <p>Three Mac-based research projects have been funded through FQRNT/MAPAQ鈥檚 first Partnership Research Program-Sustainable Agriculture .
