Compost was applied on the AL01 field on Tuesday, May 6. The compost is part of an faculty mentored student applied research project sponsered by the Alberta Association of Colleges and Technical Institutes. The compost was heavy harrowed and practically disappeared. It should not hinder the seeding of the canola.
The compost was applied in strips and students will use GPS yield maps to measure any yield response. It will interesting to seed if the compost will pay for its cost of application. We will monitor these plots for both the 2008 and 2009 crop years to see if there are any delayed response.
