Watch HELM technical agronomists Brock Waggoner and Tim Eyrich as they review strategies for success this spring — from shaping the soil to herbicide programs to nitrogen use efficiency.

Assessing nutrient levels can help mitigate nitrogen management challenges. Rock River Laboratory explains the available analysis tools and when and how to use them as part of a successful fertilization strategy.

A new study from Ohio State University indicates that having good soil health means getting more bang for every buck spent on fertilizer.

For corn growers, the decision of when and how much nitrogen fertilizer to apply is a perennial challenge. Scientists at the University of Illinois have shown that data from nanosatellites can potentially give farmers better insights into nitrogen fertilizer needs and alleviate nutrient stress for crops.
