A new quick-release liquid phosphorus fertilizer, springuP is formulated to use at planting with vert little risk of tissue damage to seedlings or young plants.

In this episode of the No-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Yetter Mfg., we're joined by veteran no-tiller Dave Brandt of Carroll, Ohio, who shares some of his many experiences with cover crops.

If soils are too acidic, phosphorus reacts with iron and aluminum, making it unavailable to plants. But if soils are too alkaline, phosphorus reacts with calcium and also becomes inaccessible. However, liming can influence other ways by which phosphorus might become available to plants.

As spring wheat planting gets underway, a soil scientist reminds farmers not to cut back on an important nutrient….phosphorus.

The system devised by Penn State and USDA scientists — dubbed MAPHEX for MAnure PHosphorus EXetraction — involves a three-stage process.

The most important decision-making factors for phosphorus management are the amount of phosphorus applied and the price of fertilizer.

Bryan Jorgensen discusses how long he’s been able to cut application of dry phosphorus (P) to the soil surface and what’s happened to soil-test P levels since his family's Jorgensen Land & Cattle operation went 100% no-till in 1991.

The "Fox Demo Farms" is a Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) project involving six farmers that is designed to showcase and demonstrate leading edge conservation practices that improve Great Lakes water quality by reducing phosphorus from entering Green Bay and Lake Michigan.
