Learn about nutrient management under continuous no-till, including soil sampling and interpretation, nutrient pools, impact on nutrient availability and loss pathways, and companion practices to further mitigate nutrient loss potential.
The rate, source, placement, and timing of plant nutrients and soil amendments are major determinants of nutrient utilization efficiency. However, efficiency in nutrient utilization is also influenced by the cropping system through its impact on nutrient availability and needs, potential nutrient loss or removal pathways, and the need for and feasibility of specific nutrient management techniques. Increased potential for movement of nutrients via some loss pathways has been raised as a concern with continuous no tillage systems by some scientists and other specialists. Such assumptions may not explore the variation in no-till systems, the total resource benefits of no tillage, or the impacts of other important supporting practices and components of the no-till cropping system. This webinar examines nutrient management under continuous no tillage, including soil sampling and interpretation, nutrient pools in no-till systems, impact on nutrient availability and loss pathways, and companion practices to further mitigate nutrient loss potential.
This webinar is sponsored by the USDA NRCS East National Technology Support Center.
