The benefits of shelterbelts to forages and cash crops have been known for decades, and as a result, have been a common practice across the Prairies for many years, says an AAFC scientist at Ag in Motion 2025.

“Majority of guys are putting fertilizer down in a granular form, so how can we get guys to help out their crops with what majority of the guys are using already?”
The product, which makes it easier for farmers to apply alongside traditional fertilizer applications, was put to market this year in granular form.
Kathler was associate manager for the trials in approximately 100 fields, and while the results varied, saw gains averaging two to four bushels per acre, with the ability to improve rooting mass and above-ground biomass across various crop types, including pulses and cereals on most fields.
