“Growers are at a nice inflection point to do more with less and put intense scrutiny on fertilizer use efficiency. So it’s about getting more into the plant, getting more into the crop of what you put down and not losing as much to the environment,” Karl Wyant says.
Showing up as black speckled dots on plant leaves, tar spot has the potential of severely reducing yield, with some reported losses of 20 bu. to up to 100 bu, per acre.
Is the World On the Verge of Running Out of Phosphates?
Morocco is sitting on 75-85% of proven global phosphate reserves, but projections of phosphate depletion span from 50 to 300 years. John Phipps explains why the concerns about peak phosphate production may be overblown.
Nitrogen-Friendly Growing Season Results in Corn Yield Bonanza
Some farmers saw A 40-bu-per-acre yield surge across fields in 2022, thanks to nutrient efficiencies. They lost less N and had better mineralization. Now, they ask, how can they get a repeat performance this year?
