Including nitrogen stabilization, such as ANVOL, in your planting plan is a valuable management tool to help increase your crop’s nitrogen use efficiency.
To keep fields efficient, it’s important to evaluate your operation’s soil composition to minimize nutrient loss and get the best nitrogen stabilizers.
As you begin to make plans for this year’s fall anhydrous ammonia applications, consider the best-practice recommendations of a fellow grower.
The goal of a saturated buffer system is to hydrologically reconnect a subsurface drainage outlet with an edge-of-field buffer.
Bayer and Pivot Bio announced a collaboration to develop Bradyrhizobium strains with enhanced nitrogen production for soybeans, potentially boosting yields.
It’s taken nine years for Koch Agronomic Services to bring a solution for growers’ unique anhydrous ammonia stabilizer needs, but they got the deal done. And CENTURO is the first nitrification inhibitor approved by the EPA in the last 40 years. “What growers can expect to see is a reduction in nitrate leaching, denitrification, improved […]
One of the essential nutrients for vigorous crop production is nitrogen. Yet most routine tests done in commercial soil testing labs do not measure available nitrogen in the soil. Tests for nitrogen exist, but for a variety of reasons they cannot be done quickly and cost-effectively. As a result, farmers may be left guessing about […]
With just a few exceptions, plants are the energetic envy of the world. No “higher” organisms are graced with the gift of photosynthesis — seemingly making sugars from scratch. But all these textbook praises about self-sufficiency are being charitable. While plants may be the consummate carb loaders, they’re also freeloaders. They can’t conjure up everything […]
Monsanto and The Climate Corporation are partnering up with the Iowa State University (ISU) Department of Agronomy to create an infrastructure project designed to monitor water quality and downstream nitrate loss. The project will provide researchers with valuable information on management practices that help keep nitrogen fertilizer from entering surrounding waterways. Monsanto and The Climate […]
With commodity prices being a bit low, Kim Tart, National Sales Manager for AgXplore believes farmers are looking for ways to be more efficient with the amount of money they are spending per acre, and one way they can do that is by examining their nitrogen efficiency. We had the opportunity to visit with Tart […]
