Briefings

Western Canadian farmers must manage soil acidity across their entire multiyear rotation instead of treating each crop individually, according to University of Alberta research. This shift is necessary to protect future harvests from soil acidification, which can harm crops and degrade land quality over time.

Key points

• Western Canadian farmers must manage soil acidity across their entire multiyear rotation rather than treating each crop individually.
• University of Alberta research indicates that failing to manage acidity across the full rotation risks harming future harvests.

Context

Research from the University of Alberta advises Western Canadian farmers to shift from crop-by-crop management to comprehensive soil acidity control to safeguard long-term agricultural productivity.
