Description

With the introduction of new pea cultivars that featured improved agronomic traits, Alberta pea acreage rose from less than 10,000 acres in the mid 1970's to more than 640,000 acres in 2000. As acreage grew, so did the demand for information on the nutrient requirements for pea being grown in Alberta. Much of this interest focused on whether inoculant, nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers were needed for this crop under Alberta conditions.

Description

Proper nutrition is essential for satisfactory crop growth and production. The use of soil tests can help to determine the status of plant available nutrients to develop fertilizer recommendations to achieve optimum crop production. The profit potential for farmers depends on producing enough crop per acre to keep production costs below the selling price. Efficient application of the correct types and amounts of fertilizers for the supply of nutrients is an important part of achieving profitable yields.
