The Fertilizer Use Survey assists in understanding the current state of fertilizer management in Canadian crop production and how growers use and make decisions about fertilizer applications. Conducted between the 2014 and 2017 growing seasons, in cooperation with the Canadian Field Print Initiative, the survey gathers data on fertilizer management practices and current knowledge of 4R Nutrient Stewardship (Right Source @ Right Rate, Right Time, Right Place®) from growers across the country. The survey also captures baseline data about major grain, oilseed and pulse crops in Canada. This information is essential for developing sustainability metrics and sound 4R Nutrient Stewardship strategies.
