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...

Spring crops are going in the ground and fertilizer prices are skyrocketing. To help ease the sting of costs on growers, the Clemson University Cooperative Extension Service Precision Agriculture group has developed two new soil fertility calculators, or apps, to help growers maximize their fertilizer dollars. The NPK Recommendations Calculator and the Fertilizer Blend Calculator can be used on any device with Internet access. Both calculators are designed to support the needs of large acreage farmers, home lawn and garden applications, and small plot vegetable producers...

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...

A portion of this article's data arrangement has adjusted from augmentation distributions formed by Washington State Universities and Oregon State. In this primary section, plant pressure examines the reasons for plant issues, and the five stages symptomatic cycle has covered in the subsequent report.

How to achieve non-recourse financing for renewable power projectsGiven the current bankability status of PPAs, it is important to secure a loan for the projects which is guaranteed by a charge on specific assets or on the revenues generated from a specific project or assets. This is how a non-recourse financing works. If the borrower defaults and the security does not realize the full value of the loan, the lender cannot recover the shortfall from the borrower or from its other assets or revenues. In essence, the ability to reach non-recourse financing arrangement will mostly depend on the negotiation between the lenders and the borrowers, e. g...
