Microbial Activity Proves Crucial for No-Till Soils

By Mackane Vogel posted on August 9, 2024 | Posted in Nutrient Management

Many of the same factors that impact a crop’s growth also impact microbial activity. Soil type is one example that can influence microbial activity. Things like the pH levels, moisture levels and oxygenation of your soil are direct influences for crop growth and microbial activity.

Traditionally, fall application of N is practiced in areas where soil temperatures usually remain below 50°F from late fall to spring. Lower soil temperatures reduce the activity of nitrifying soil bacteria that convert ammonium to nitrates. However, if soil temperatures rise above 50°F, N is at risk of loss through leaching or denitrification.

Zeroing in on Nitrogen Efficiency with In-Season Adjustments

Whether using high-tech crop imagery or intuition, in-season nitrogen applications should be adjusted to the crop’s potential as well as future conditions for maximum yield and minimal risk.

With today's sky-high nitrogen (N) prices, nobody wants to apply more N to their crops than is needed. But on the other hand, commodities are commanding a pretty penny, so leaving yield on the table is also ill-advised.
