With a pivotal spring season ahead, understanding nutrient cycling is critical to developing a successful, resilient no-till system, says Barry Fisher.
In this episode of the No-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Montag Mfg., we continue our discussion with Penn State University no-till and cover crop researcher Sjoerd Duiker on the thought-provoking topic of increasing soil organic matter.

Integration of no-till, crop diversity and cover crops increases microbial activity and diversity and can boost crop yields by 15-30%, with the same or even reduced inputs, says USDA researcher Randy Anderson.
South Dakota State University Extension buried mens' white cotton briefs in different tillage systems and viewed their decompositions as a comparison in the soil microbiology levels.
No-tillers who create conditions that support active soil microbial activity have fewer headaches with residue decomposition and nutrient availability after harvest.
For many no-tillers, it’s difficult enough to get crops planted and harvested on time each year. But after harvest, there’s often another battle — managing residue in such a way that it’s an asset to their rotation, rather than a liability.
Enzymes, microbes and humic acids may be the next evolution in residue management, as no-tillers continue searching for ways to increase biological activity in their soils and break down tough cornstalks.
