Fertilizer use can boost crop yields in Manitoba
Manitoba farmers saw a 12.5 percent rise in fertilizer sales from 1983-84 to 1984-85, correlated with record or near record yields across wheat barley flaxseed rapeseed oats and mixed grains. Nitrogen led the gains with 31,000 tonnes more sold, while phosphorous and potassium also rose. Manitoba accounted for a quarter of western Canada’s 2.6 million tonnes sold in 1984-85.
