Potassium (K) limitations are emerging in many parts of the world due to intensive cropping without sufficient K replenishment. Here we documented the agronomic and economic impact of potassium limitation in intensive cereal systems in Southeast Asia through an approach that included nutrient balances, leaf tissue analysis, and short- and long-term fertilizer trials. https://lnkd.in/gwskWrnY

Successive cropping effectively mines nutrients from the soil, requiring replacement through fertilizer applications. This is especially apparent in Brazil where multiple crops are grown in a single year, often on nutrient deficient soils. In this study we evaluated sulfur uptake in 3 successive corn crops grown in the same highly weathered soil from Brazil. A single application of 26 lbs sulfur/ac ahead of the first crop using Phosphate MST® demonstrated lasting slow-release sulfur, remaining in the root zone for subsequent crops. By the 3rd crop (pictured below) we can see how conventional elemental sulfur products do not provide sufficient S to meet the crops needs. Phosphate MST® demonstrates its flexibility, encapsulating phosphorus and sulfur in a single convenient product that performs in challenging soils, with low pH, low organic matter, and high leaching potential. In the field, conventional elemental sulfur products often require a separate pass at high application rates, whereas MST® is incorporated with other macronutrient fertilizers, can be applied in the same pass and at standard rates to maximize yields. #Phosphate #Sulfur #Crops #Corn #Brazil #Cropyield #Agriculture #Fertilizer #Agritech #Cropnutrition #Nutrientefficiency #Slowrelease #Sulphur

Did you attend our latest ASA, CSSA, SSSA webinar, "The fate of nitrogen of ammonium phosphate fertilizers: A blind spot"? In case you missed it, check out this highlight video: https://lnkd.in/gNF372GP   The widespread use of ammonium phosphates as phosphorus fertilizer sources entails co-applied of an estimated 8% of global nitrogen (N) inputs to croplands, but the fate of this co-applied N is largely unknown. Here, we review the state of knowledge and key gaps to be addressed by future research, and implications of ammonium phosphate N loss.

Calcium (Ca) is a critical secondary nutrient required by plants but is less commonly included in fertilizer applications in comparison to the macronutrients nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). However, according to The Ohio State University Extension Ohio Crops Network, excessive use of K fertilizers can greatly reduce the uptake of Ca. This is definitely something to be mindful of as you work with your grower-customers to finalize their fertilizer plans for the upcoming growing season. Check out their recommendations for soil test critical levels that can help determine when a Ca application may be beneficial. https://lnkd.in/g2xqCMVd

Are fertilizer costs cutting into your bottom line? A 2024 analysis by the University of Minnesota Extension revealed a striking insight: the least profitable farms spend up to 33% more on fertilizer per acre compared to their most profitable counterparts. This difference underscores a critical truth in farming—success isn’t just about how much you spend but how effectively you spend it. So, we have to raise a couple of important questions:  - When was the last time you took a close look at your fertilizer strategy?  - Are you confident you’re maximizing every dollar you put into the ground? It is crucial to understand your stance on fertilizer efficiency. Research shows that applying nitrogen, for example, beyond optimal rates often fails to increase yields. Surely, no two fields are the same, and managing fertilizer well requires a clear understanding of what your soil and crops need. The good news? There’s more data than ever to guide those decisions. In this week’s blog post, Jack Washburn talks about what these data sources are, and how they can be utilized to decrease the overspend on fertilization. These practices not only cut costs but also build long-term resilience into your operation.

At SoilBeat, we’re here to help. By bringing together soil, crop, and financial data in one place, we aim to simplify the decision-making process—giving you the clarity to spend smarter, not more. We’d love to hear your stories in the comments below— What’s worked for you? Have you made adjustments to your fertilizer strategy that have paid off? #SoilBeat #SoilResiliance #FertilizerCosts #InputCosts #DataDrivenAgronomy #ProfitableFarming

The goal was to pinpoint the appropriate amount [...]

As part of its commitment to expand into the US and Canadian market, IntraCrop is supporting the Biostimulants World Congress which this year takes place in Miami, Florida. IntraCrop has been conducting trials in these countries to demonstrate the efficacy of its #biostimulants in-country, under a variety of conditions on several crop types. Collaborations with local distributors are underway to ensure that these innovative products show demonstratable, repeated #results that are relevant to the real-world scenarios faced by growers. Emily Way, Technical Officer, who will be attending the event, tells us, “So far, we have demonstrated a positive impact on yield when Status® is included in crop management programmes on Cotton, with a yield increased by 0.27t/ha, Maize, increased by 1.46t/ha and Peanuts by 0.52t/ha. Most impressively, results on oilseed rape averaged a 7% yield increase compared to the control, when Status® was applied BBCH12-14, with spring wheat yield increases averaging 10.6% and 10.7% compared to the control, when Status® applied BBCH12-13 and BBCH39 (flag leaf), respectively.” Find out more about the BWC and our role here: https://lnkd.in/eV6-5d3A
