Soil
Microorganisms allow soil to store and release more nutrients, reducing fertilizer expense
Shoot the slow rabbits first with vertical tillage and lime applications
Manage the carbon penalty, allelopathy and disease to improve soil health and yield
Three mixtures boost soil health by increasing water infiltration and available nutrients
How four farmers found the right cover crop to fix their soil’s problems
Correct acidity to create diverse microbial populations, which decompose residue and release soil nutrients.
Sulfur application methods, placement and timing depend on soil conditions in each field.
Dialing in the correct rate of potassium (K) fertilizer based on testing method, leads to a healthy soil–crop–farmer relationship.
Applying nitrogen—corn’s most important and trickiest nutrient—doesn’t do a lick of good if it escapes into the air or, even worse, into water sources before plants can use it.
Potassium (K) regulates water loss and maintains turgor pressure. Identify K-deficiency symptoms in corn and soybeans before drought damages your yield.
