Nutrients - free to a good home.

Soils need just the right amount of nutrients for optimal plant growth. A healthy diet means knowing what food sources are available and what to add.

Nutrient management. Your soil’s dietition.

Nutrient planning is like having a smart plan for plant food. It makes sure plants get exactly what they need when and where it’s needed most without wasting resources or harming nature. Imagine farmers, food processors, and government working together to use plant nutrients in the best way possible: not too much (which saves money), but enough for crops to thrive; applied at just the right time during plant growth stages; and precisely where plants need it (right at their roots). This approach is a big deal, helping farmers increase their yeilds while caring for the environment.

A greater awareness for your field.

Farming today is more technologically and scientifically advanced than ever before. Wessuc continues to be a leader in their field by not only adapting to advanced methods but introducing them as well. In addition to providing our clients with GPS records of spreading in their fields, we enhance and contribute to their nutrient management (Agricultural and Non-Agricultural sources) and their soil sampling records.

Our farm data management tools include NMAN data input, updating, and setup. We also assist the tracking of field inputs, outputs, and nutrient needs which leads to improved timing of application.

Benefits of nutrient planning.

Nutrient Management Planning (NMP) is a critical aspect of sustainable agriculture, focusing on optimizing fertilizer use and minimizing environmental impact. Here’s an outline listing key benefits associated with Nutrient Management Plan implementation:

  • Improved crop yeild

    By ensuring that plants receive the appropriate amount of nutrients at critical growth stages, crop yields can be significantly increased due to better plant health and vigor. This precision in application translates directly into more produce per acre without over-application costs or environmental harm.

  • Cost Savings

    Efficient use of fertilizers through NMP means farmers spend less money on inputs while still achieving optimal crop production levels. It reduces the likelihood of purchasing excessive amounts and mitigates expenses associated with dealing with nutrient runoff or pollution fines, which can be costly under environmental regulations like those enforced by bodies such as EPA in USA.

  • Environmental Protection

    NMP helps to minimize the loss of nitrogen and phosphorus into waterways through leaching, volatilization, or runoff that could cause eutrophication (excessive nutrient enrichment). This protects aquatic life by preventing algal blooms which can create dead zones devoid of oxygen.

  • Soil Health Maintenance

    Regular soil testing and appropriate fertilization help maintain a balanced pH level, reduce compaction issues, improve aeration, water infiltration rates, microbial activity balance, organic matter content – all essential for long-term sustainable farming practices.

  • Reducing Green House Gas Emmissions

    Proper nutrient management reduces the emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas produced from denitrification when excessive fertilizer is applied to fields with high moisture content, thus helping in climate change mitigation efforts.

  • Water quality preservation

    By avoiding over-application, there is less risk of nutrient pollution in groundwater and surface water bodies such as rivers or lakes; this helps maintain the quality standards required by regulatory agencies to protect public health for drinking purposes among other uses like fisheries.

Many nutrient options available.

A healthy soil is key for a better crop yield and a better environment. Feed your field from the many nutrient sources available. Whether it’s commercial fertilizer, manure, or Non-Agricultural Source Material (NASM), nutrient sources for your soil are available from many sources. Reuse also prevents material from going to landfill. When using biosolids (one form of NASM), you must adhere to government rules and regulations outlined in the NMA. We make it our business to keep on top of the latest requirements and will help you with everything from non agricultural source material (NASM) approvals to nutrient management plans, and nutrient management strategies.

Nutrients for every crop, with some to spare.

  • Nitrogen

    We are surrounded by nitrogen. The air we breathe for example is made up of 78% nitrogen. So why apply nitrogen to soil? Nitrogen is required in large amounts by plants for growth and the gaseous nitrogen that surrounds us is unavailable to them. The nitrogen must first be converted to ammonium or nitrate. This form of nitrogen is the primary nitrogen supplied in biosolids which makes it an excellent source for this essential nutrient, providing up to 120 lb/acre.

  • Phosphorus

    Phosphorus is another essential nutrient for plants. It plays an important role in photosynthesis, plant metabolism, cell division, DNA and membrane structure. As with nitrogen, much of the phosphorus in the soil is unavailable to plants. In any given year, plants will use up to 30% of the phosphorus applied as fertilizer or supplement. The biosolids Wessuc spreads are an excellent source of phosphorus providing up to 200 lb/acre.

  • micro - Nutrients

    Seven of the eleven "Heavy Metals" that are in biosolids are actually micro-nutrients essential for plant growth. Micro-nutrients does not refer to a lesser role in plant development but rather a lesser quantitative presence in the soil. Zinc, Nickel, Selenium, Molybdenum, Copper and Cobalt are all essential for plant growth and all provided in biosolids. Levels for all micro-nutrients must meet safe limits established in the Nutrient Management Act.

  • Organics and more

    Soil organic matter is a key part of the nutrient cycle, holding soil moisture and maintaining soil structure. Biosolids are organic in origin and treated through an organic process. It follows then that biosolids are an excellent source of organic matter. Proper use of biosolids as an organic source will provide improved soil fertility, soil structure, moisture retention and permeability. Aside from this biosolids also provide a liquid source for the crop as well as other micro-nutrients not regulated in the Nutrient Management Act such as manganese, magnesium, calcium, iron, and boron.

Taking care of the environment, while taking care of the soil.

What’s your crop?

Biosolids are ideal for crops such as sod, corn, wheat, soybeans, cereals and forage crops. Providing essential nutrients at no cost to the farming community, biosolids recycling is the most successful recycling program in the province today.
