Every field, farm, and operation presents unique nitrogen management challenges. Session Three of N Is for Nitrogen 3.0 brings the series together through real-world case studies and participant-driven discussion focused on practical problem-solving in complex nutrient management situations.
This interactive session is designed to explore how nitrogen management principles are applied under varying production systems, environmental sensitivities, and regulatory contexts. Drawing on examples from across British Columbia, participants will examine scenarios involving fertilizing residuals, soil variability, environmental risk, and site-specific constraints.

Part Three: Case Studies and Special Topics in Nitrogen Management
-
Part Three brings the series together through real-world case studies and participant-driven discussion. Topics will be selected based on audience interests and challenges.
Potential focus areas include:
-
Complex nutrient management scenarios
-
Integrating fertilizing residuals into nutrient plans
-
Managing nitrogen under regulatory constraints
-
Addressing site-specific risks and environmental sensitivities
Participants are encouraged to submit nitrogen management case studies or topic suggestions prior to the first session to help shape this discussion-based webinar.
About the Presenter
Ruth McDougall, M.Sc., PAg. is a recognized expert in British Columbia in on-farm nitrogen and phosphorus management, soil fertility, and the beneficial reuse of fertilizing residuals. She prepares Nutrient Management Plans for a wide range of agricultural operations and has authored multiple BC-specific guideline documents on nutrient use.
Ruth is certified by the BC Ministry of Agriculture as a Nutrient Management Planner and has extensive experience with municipal biosolids, wastewater treatment effluent, livestock waste, compost, and other residuals. Her work spans agricultural land application, fabricated soils, mine and aggregate site reclamation, landfill closure, and composting systems, with deep knowledge of BC’s environmental regulations.
