Poor soils can cut crop yields by up to 50 percent—which, if we’re not careful, could result in more soil being tilled to grow more crops, which degrades more soil, which pushes us closer to climate catastrophe. And that has direct impacts on our food supply and climate.

Lastly, ever increasing crop yields over the decades has meant more calcium (Ca 2+ ), magnesium (Mg 2+ ) and potassium (K + ) leaves the field at harvest, which has the same effect as them leaching in high rainfall areas because H + is allowed to reign, and the balance of positively charged nutrients is thrown out of whack. *The

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.

Optimizing plant nutrition is a fundamental aspect of successful crop production. Nutrient deficiencies can significantly impact crop health and productivity, leading to reduced yields and compromised plant defenses against diseases and pests. What are the common symptoms of nutrient deficiencies in crops?

As a farmer, you know that climate change can greatly affect your crops and their yield. This includes recording weather patterns, soil conditions, irrigation practices, crop yields, and any other relevant metrics. Keep track of key indicators such as growth rate, disease incidence, maturation time, and crop yield.

When striving to grow lush, healthy plants that produce favourable yields, soil nutrient quality must be high. This is especially important to encourage long-term quality plant nutrition and greater harvest yields. In agriculture, growers must work with quality earth that contains healthy levels of soil nutrients.
