Crop rotation is a common agronomic practice that involves the systematic sequencing of different crops in a specific field over several seasons. This technique aims to enhance soil fertility, control pests and diseases, and optimize crop yield.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in regenerative agriculture, a holistic approach to farming that seeks to restore and revitalize the land while improving crop yields and overall farm profitability. This means increased crop yields and reduced inputs like fertilizers and pesticides.

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.

As with many eco initiatives, what was old is new again: Cover crops (or fallow season plantings; see more below) were first used during the Roman Empire as a way to boost the soil quality in vineyards. Cover cropping is a means of increasing soil fertility without chemicals. How do cover crops work?

Increasing crop yields while improving soil and watershed health requires understanding how agriculture management interacts with local environmental conditions. To date, this research remains fragmented and limited in scope.

Two neighbors, Farmer A and Farmer B: both farm 1,000 acres and use the same crop rotation schedule. Farmer A tills 30% of their fields, uses cover crops on 20%, and applies anhydrous ammonia. Farmer B tills 50% of their fields, uses cover crops on 40%, and uses stable nitrogen sources. Consider this scenario.

Nutrient deficiencies can result from various factors, such as poor soil nutrition, imbalanced fertilization, inadequate soil pH levels, or other environmental stresses. However, over time, the lack of essential nutrients can impact crop yield and quality, even without apparent symptoms.
