What about fertigation?

Title

Abstract

Charlottetown-Victoria Park MLA Richard Brown raised questions about the possibility of of applying pesticides at the same time as irrigating during a Department of Agriculture and Forestry debate on lifting the provincial ban on deep water wells. Brown questioned department minister Webster about the possible use of an agricultural model adopted in Nebraska that seeks to coordinate the fertilizer loading of agricultural fields to times of irrigation so that the total chemical load to fields is minimized. Webster expressed doubt that the conditions related to irrigation in Nebraska were applicable to those on PEI.
