In a low commodity price environment, reconsidering phosphorus and potassium fertilization rates might provide an avenue for lowering input costs.

Note that manure characteristics vary significantly among species, so choosing a rate based on the coverage it provides on the soil surface is not a recommended method of determining an appropriate application rate.

The efficient application of phosphorus fertilizers in no-till systems is crucial for achieving optimal crop yields. However, several challenges are associated with fall-applied phosphorus, such as fixation in soil, runoff and leaching, soil pH, and the misconception that banked phosphorus is always available.

For this No-Till Farmer podcast, sponsored by Yetter Farm Equipment, fifth-generation Arkansas farmer Adam Chappell, joins us to talk about how he got into no-till, what methods he employs, what he sees for the future, and more.
