Maximizing Nutrient Use Efficiency: The Cost of Soil pH and Stratification Challenges

Date: March 4, 2025
Time: 12:00 PM–1 PM Central

How do soil pH and stratification affect NUE? Soil pH plays a critical role in maximizing nutrient use efficiency (NUE) in crop production, but variability across soil layers can create costly uptake challenges. Join ICL agronomists Dr. Jason Hagele and Christi Falen for a comprehensive webinar on managing soil pH to optimize nutrient use efficiency economically. This session will cover the fundamentals of soil pH, its variability across soil layers, and how precise, economical approaches to fertilization can improve nutrient uptake and unlock soil-P reserves. The session will also discuss practical techniques, including cover crops, biological inputs, and no-till practices, to address stratification, improve soil health, and boost nutrient efficiency.

Speakers:
Dr. Jason Haegele, Marketing & Innovation Manager, ICL Growing Solutions NA
Christi Falen, ICL Agronomy Technical Services Manager

CEUs:
CCA/CPAg: 1.0 Nutrient Management
CPSS/CPSC: 1.0 Professional Meetings

New Opportunities in NCRS Nutrient Management

Date: Tuesday, March 18, 2025
Time: 10:00 - 11:00 AM Central

The USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) offers a range of opportunities to support improved nutrient management practices that protect water quality. From utilizing precision agriculture and in-season technologies to implementing enhanced efficiency fertilizers, these approaches align with the evolving needs of modern agriculture. With the ongoing revision of the NRCS National Conservation Practice Standard for Nutrient Management (Practice Standard 590), this webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of current and future strategies, tools, and procedures aimed at improving Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE) and addressing site-specific risks for nutrient loss.

Speakers:
Tim Pilkowski FPAC, NRCS - NRCS Nutrient Management National Discipline Lead
Joesph Bagdon FPAC, NRCS - Nutrient and Pest Management Specialist

CEUs:
CCA/CPAg: 1.0 Nutrient Management
