The success of the OCP Kenya-OCP School Lab (OSL) project stems from a comprehensive approach to addressing agricultural challenges in Kenya. A review of various surveys on the state of agriculture revealed a connection between low crop yields, reduced incomes, and soil fertility constraints, particularly soil acidity. Additionally, a lack of awareness about soil health and fertility ...
Avoid excess crop nutrients in your fertilizer strategy to maintain soil health and protect your pocketbook The push to produce higher yields per acre every year continues to weigh heavily on western Canadian farmers. That pressure is accompanied by economic and environmental concerns. Should you invest more money into crop nutrients to reach record yields? Will that investment pay off? Will ...
Identify and correct crop nutrient deficiencies in your soil to increase yield and profit Achieving prosperity in Canadian agriculture is a balancing act. While new technologies increasingly grow your potential to overcome limiting factors and boost yields, oftentimes revisiting the basics will further support your efforts to reach an optimum balance in soil nutrients. A great place to start is ...
Placing fertilizer within the seed row has been long-standing practice for many farmers across the prairies. Having those nutrients close to the seed makes it easily accessible by the plant, and can help the crop out of the ground and into the sun. Potash fertilizers and other nutrients, such as phosphate, are immobile fertilizers, meaning they don’t travel more than a half-inch through ...
But the SBU is the only component based on the equipment the grower is using, and it is one of the most important elements in safe fertilizer application. Garth Donald, Manager of Agronomy at Decisive Farming, thinks even modern farming technology can be big limiting factors when it comes to seed placed fertilizer application. ...
