DuPont Pioneer announced plans for a new grower pilot program that will expand on the input management offerings in its recently launched EncircaSM Yield services platform to include phosphorous and potassium management.
DuPont Pioneer is launching its new Encirca Yield services platform and enrolling growers today to help them improve timing, placement and management of critical inputs to enhance the overall productivity and profitability of every acre.
Most of the required nitrogen is provided by biological nitrogen fixation occurring in bacterial colonies (nodules) attached to soybean roots, but in some cases, the nodules will not form or function properly and the plants will show visible nitrogen deficiency symptoms.
Have you ever wondered why school students are routinely given a series of year-end tests when it may already be too late to help them master the material?
Lessons learned from measuring nitrates as corn reaches physiological maturity can help no-tillers improve nitrogen management and the farm’s bottom line.
No-tillers wanting to get a better handle on how efficiently they’re using nitrogen on corn acres should consider late-season corn-stalk nitrate sampling programs, including one offered by the Iowa Soybean Association On-Farm Network.
It’s a two-sided coin that every farmer wants to achieve: maximum yields with minimum inputs. Crop-sensor technology can, according to ongoing farmer and university research, help accomplish that.
One of the most neglected aspects of no-tillage seems to be the proper use of cover crops. Unfortunately, many farmers simply take this part of the total program for granted and unnecessary mistakes are often made.
Farmers should wait until soil temperatures drop to the appropriate temperature before applying fall nitrogen, a University of Illinois agronomist says.
Cover crops can offset the major causes of yield drag in fields making the transition to no-till and improve the soil biology of fields lacking crop and residue diversity
If you had to scavenge for food from Thanksgiving to Easter, chances are you wouldn’t be very productive and may not survive. The same is true of soil microbes.
