Post-harvest crop residue contains a lot of valuable nutrients. For example, residue from 150-bushel corn contains roughly 100 lb. of nitrogen, 37 lb. of phosphate, 145 lb. of potash and 26 lb. of calcium. Reclaiming those nutrients can help improve your soil health and save you money. But what’s the best way to do that?
Chris Kasten and Mark Coots from TEVA talk about the role of amendments, biologicals and other products in speeding up the decomposition of your crop residue so you can recover its nutrients and get them back into your soil, where they can do you some good.
