Higher yields also suggest that applying microbial nitrogen in furrow can help bridge the nitrogen gap that can occur in fields with cover crop rotations. This occurs because the nitrogen is delivered directly to the roots, avoiding competition with cover crop residue.

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. Climate change can directly affect soil health, leading to challenges in crop growth and productivity.

Opting for clean, nutrient-dense organic formulations that serve to heal and regenerate damaged soils will lead to better crop production for years to come. There are several different ways to add fertilizer to a field, a crop, home garden, or lawn environment. Not every method is right for every fertilizer.
