North Carolina State University researchers are partnering on a low-cost method to dry swine sludge for easy transport and fertilizer blending.
Phosphorus runoff can be harmful to water quality. Due to this, researchers are looking into ways nurseries can keep phosphorus where it belongs – in pots.
Preparing the soil is the be-all-and-end-all when it comes to producing healthy crop yields. You can take steps to improve your soil health at any time of year, but the end of the growing season is a particularly good time to get things ready for spring sowing. When thinking about preparing your fields to plant […]
Agricultural scientists are working with wastewater managers to develop ways to put those deserving phosphorus molecules back to work on the farm.
Sustainability can mean a lot of different things depending on a farmer’s perspective but for Verdesian Life Sciences, it’s all about making sure a grower is sustainable not only environmentally but also economically. “We believe strongly you can do both,” said Dr. Darin Lickfeldt, Senior Technical Development Manager for Verdesian. “We can push their yields […]
The unseasonably warm early spring weather across the Midwest this year has been tempting for growers to get out in the field ahead of schedule. However, if you’re going to plant early, you’re going to need a starter fertilizer, said Verdesian Life Sciences experts. “Farmers that plant early are doing so into cool soils and […]
Washington State University researchers have figured out a way to ‘make lemonade from lemons’ with manure. Over the next two years, WSU scientists will build and operate a mobile system to fully develop a phosphorous-rich fertilizer. The “Mobile System for Nutrient (Phosphorus) Recovery and Cost Efficient Nutrient Transport” project will build and operate a mobile […]
