A recent study at the University of Kentucky Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment found that replacing 40 pounds of synthetic nitrogen with Pivot Bio PROVEN® 40 can increase corn yields while reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizer. Other results from the studies indicated higher corn yields.

Black polyethylene “mulch film” gets tucked snugly around crop rows, clear plastic sheeting covers hoop houses, and most farmers use plastic seed trays, irrigation tubes, and fertilizer bags. These synthetic polymer products have often been used to help boost yields up to 60 percent and make water and pesticide use more efficient.

Some farms have limited acres to apply manure and feel forced to apply at maximum regulatory rates to get the pits emptied. With the current high cost of synthetic fertilizers, and even supply chain disruptions, managing the manure resource properly becomes a critical farm task. And, “If a little is good, more should be better, right?”

Last year (2019) was the first year we started using fields that had so much time out of production, and it was amazing how much more fertility those areas had. When we build soil or trap carbon as small farmers, a lot of these costs are almost considered worthless in economic terms (except for their crop yield increases).

As well, changes in temperature make it harder for plants to photosynthesize, so crop yields are dropping. Last year, farmers in Canada planted close to 555,000 acres of mustard seed, producing 161,781 tons, primarily in Saskatchewan. But amid challenging weather conditions, yields have plummeted in recent years.
