The traditional certificates are Chinese calligraphy on velvet. The Alberta specialists visited the Chinese province for three to four weeks each summer over the four years to conduct soil and forage analysis, establish test plots and suggest management changes. Over the term of the agreement the Chinese officials also made two technical missions to Alberta. As the soil specialist, Goettel concluded Qiqihar soils were very deficient in nitrogen and phosphorous. Hay production could be increased by up to nine times by applying fertilizer to pastures seeded to tame forages. It was recommended more field scale tests be conducted with tame forages to demonstrate improved management including weed control and fertilizers. (Cont'd).
