Crop Nutrition Week Topics

Monday

Good Agronomics in Tough Market Times: The Smart Money is in the Soil

When every input dollar counts, soil testing is good business. Because the last thing you want is dollars wasted on nutrients you don’t need, while missing deficiencies that are quietly killing your yield potential. Uncover three game-changing advantages of soil testing that can turn expensive assumptions into data-driven profits – and protect your bottom line.

Feeding Cotton is a Precision Game

Cotton is a finicky eater with a long growing season appetite. In challenging market conditions, understanding exactly what (and when) to feed it can make the difference between profit and loss. See how strategic soil testing can create a cotton feeding program that delivers stage-specific nutrition, quality-driven feeding and more efficient feed conversion.

The Hidden Math of Fertilizer Decisions

As growers, we instinctively focus on price per pound, gallon or ton instead of what really matters: total program cost per acre. In this 10-minute deep drive, you’ll learn how to evaluate different input types to more accurately compare inputs. You’ll also discover how unit price alone can be misleading when dealing with different concentrations and application rates.

Wednesday

Rethinking Fertilizer Equivalencies Through the Availability Lens

Instead of asking, “How much fertilizer did I apply?” it’s time to ask, “How much actually feeds my crops?” Because true equivalency isn’t measured in pounds applied, it’s measured in plant response, yield potential and ROI. Learn how to calculate ROI based on what plants actually use – and why two “equivalent” programs can result in very different outcomes.

Plant Uptake When Your Cotton Needs it Most

With cotton, we all know it’s about more than pounds per acre. Learn the critical windows when cotton demands maximum nutrient availability. Then follow those nutrients on their journey from application to cotton plants – navigating real field obstacles like soil tie-up, leaching and volatilization that can steal a significant amount of what you paid for.

Coordinated Nutrition: Maximizing Nutrient Teamwork

Your NPK program is an investment, and micronutrients are one way to help protect that investment. Without the right balance, crops can’t fully utilize the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium sitting in the soil. See how micronutrients can help ensure maximum returns on your fertilizer investment by unlocking your crops’ ability to access and utilize every ounce.
