Lakehead University Agricultural Research Station hosting its annual summer tour

The Lakehead University Agricultural Research Station (LUARS) is hosting tour of the property on Tuesday, August 1, 2023.

“Our tours are based on the philosophy of ‘Seeing is believing,’” Dr. Sahota said. “When farmers see some new crop varieties, products or production practices working successfully at the research station, they are encouraged to try and adopt those on their farms with resulting improvement in crop yields, quality and returns from farming,” he said.

This year, LUARS has added ~20 new crop varieties and they are testing a new nitrogen fertilizer (Puryield 45-0-0) and two new bioproducts (Holganix 800+ and Utrisha N). 

Media are invited to attend.
