QUIZ – New 4R Guidelines

Fertilizer Canada updated its 4R guidelines earlier this year. This quiz lists four practices from the latest guidelines. You have to decide whether the practice is basic, intermediate or advanced 4R. One of the four is considered "inconsistent" with 4R guidelines, so not recommended.

1. Broadcast unprotected nitrogen in fall.
2. Develop sub-field management zones based on quantitative analysis of field variability.
3. Use enhanced efficiency forms of ammonium-based fertilizers in high moisture, high risk situations.
4. Apply N after soil cools in fall.
