Description
Soil analysis should be used as a milestone to monitor progress towards growing healthy crops; they should not be used as a goal. Every nutrient and soil amendment application needs to produce a strong crop response, not just a soil analysis response. When we apply this understanding properly it means that we will not apply uneconomical quantities of soil amendments to balance a soil analysis that do not first provide a benefit to the crop. On the mini-episode this week, I talk about where soil tests are needed for optimal farm performance how a soil test can be a detriment what to look for in a soil report what the numbers aren’t telling you why you can decrease your annual fertilizer inputs and get a better crop response Support For This Show & Helping You Grow This show is brought to you by AEA, leaders in regenerative agriculture since 2006.
