What was to be a workshop at the University of Manitoba, Canada, has now been transformed into a 5-part webinar series. If you are like me, the exponential growth of webinar opportunities is overwhelming. I am thankful when they assemble them in a recorded format. Such is the case here. This is an information/promotional webinar series put on by the fertilizer industry that is focussed on intensive production (tillage/monoculture). Thus, Conservation Agriculture is not a focus and may not be mentioned. Regardless, they attempt to update everyone on the latest research for fertilizer and agronomic technology that can be sold to farmers - in this case with African applications. The 4R system is the Right product, Right rate, Right timing, Right placement of fertilizers. CANADA AFRICA 4R SOLUTION AND PRECISION NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT ONLINE SERIES. - The second webinar in the series occurred today (too early for me to attend) on the topic: Tools and Strategies for Boosting 4R Practice Adoption.

Following is the reply I received *today *from Fertilizer Canada which will be helpful to track the proceedings from today's webinar and to register for the next on greenhouse gases (or a calendar note to monitor the website after that date). Thank you for joining us in our second webinar of the Canada – Africa 4R Solution and Precision Nutrient Management Online series today. In case you have missed it or want to revisit, the *webinar presentation, speaker bios are available *here <https://4rsolution.org/4r-webinars/>. We are now working on compiling the questions and answers from the webinar; and this will be published in our website too the coming days.
