Fertilizers claim much of the input costs for growing crops and a Clemson University specialist says that, especially with today’s fertilizer prices, precise input management is important. Bhupinder Farmaha, a nutrient management specialist housed at the Clemson Edisto Research and Education Center in Blackville, South Carolina, and Clemson Cooperative Extension Service agent, recently conducted a Zoom meeting to talk about crop fertilizer needs. Among row crops, corn demands the most in fertilizer costs. “For corn, 37% of the input operating costs goes to fertilizer,” Farmaha said... For phosphorus and potassium, farmers should account for sub-soil fertility by taking 6-inch to 12-inch samples...

Growers across the southern United States are planting spring crops and many have lime on their minds. Lime is a very important soil amendment used to grow crops. To help ensure the correct amount is applied where it is needed most, the Clemson University Precision Agriculture Team has developed the Reverse Lime Rate Calculator. This calculator, or web app, is useful for farmers as well as gardeners. It uses soil pH (acidity level), buffer pH and applied lime rate to provide an estimated soil pH...

In part one of this two-part series on the economics of cover crops, we explore how they can help reduce input costs. By GO SEED“Yeah, the principle of cover crops makes sense but how much are they going to cost me?” From farmers using them in rotations to field experts alike, this is one of the most common questions they get asked when discussing the integration of cover crops. And in a business where inputs can quickly get out of hand and cut into thin profit margins, it is understandably so. According to Jerry Hall, Director of Research for GO SEED, this question needs to be flipped on its head with farmers asking, “How much can cover crops save me?” “With strategic use, cover crops can help decrease inputs like fuel and labor, while providing long-term production benefits from resource improvement,” explains Hall... In soils with fertility issues, legumes like crimson clover or hairy vetch can do well and help restore the soil...

Those who are dealing in farming and agriculture, understand that growing vegetables or plants is not as easy a task as it sounds. A plant is of no use if it is not healthy – growing a healthy and happy plant is a demanding job. One needs to make sure the plants are getting all the necessary minerals that they require to grow. Minerals that they absorb from the soil are most important. But as a result of today’s natural and environmental changes, the quality of soil is degrading...

Before KPB use, the coffee trees had a strong nutritional deficiency and were negatively affected by the rust fungi. After 2 months and 4 irrigation applications with the KPB technology, the coffee trees produced more abundant foliar development and brighter green leaves than the control trees. The coffee trees that were treated with KPB no longer had any presence of rust fungi, indicating significantly increased disease resistance from KPB. With KPB use, there was also an improvement in soil pH as the soil went from a pH of 4. 9 before KPB use to a pH of 5...

The fertilizer crisis is a fact, especially nitrogenous fertilizers, particularly Urea, which is one of the most widely used chemical fertilizers worldwide. This product provides 46% Nitrogen, which is why it is widely used for most crops. However, with its imminent shortage and high prices, farmers are forced to look for alternatives, and the current trend is to look for organic sources of nitrogen, which we list below.
