Exploring ‘legacy effects’ of soil microbes on plants
na
A new study analyzes soils sampled across Kansas to determine the importance of “legacy effects” — how soils from a specific location are influenced by microbes that have evolved in response to the specific climate at that site for many years.
Over-winter bale grazing can boost cattle gains and pasture health
Producers from across Ontario report improved soil fertility,increased health and input savings
Ontario beef producers say overwinter bale grazing improves cattle gains, pasture fertility, and reduces manure handling and labour costs.
Proactive soil sampling brings fertility cost savings
Higher input costs means soil sampling is more important than ever
Soil sampling can give growers a clearer picture on the true fertility needs of their fields.
