Field Notes Podcast: Cation Exchange Capacity Explained
Article Categories: Field Notes, US, CANADA, Technical Agronomic Information, Podcast, Global
Article Tags: Understanding Nitrogen Loss, Preventing Nitrogen Loss, ANVOL, CENTURO, Nitrogen Using Crops, Spring, Fall
The Field Notes podcast series from Koch Agronomic Services (Koch) will break down the science and technology behind agronomy to help growers do more with less. Crop science experts and others in the agriculture industry will discuss topics ranging from nitrogen loss and soil health to ways growers can increase operational efficiencies.

In this episode, we’ll debunk another myth with the help of Koch Agronomic Services. Listen and learn about soil cation exchange capacity, or CEC, and its impact on nitrogen management. Koch’s technical agronomist Derek Rapp and senior agronomist Edwin Suarez discuss what you need to know about soil CEC, the common misconceptions growers have and why knowing your CEC number is a critical component for growers as they develop their nitrogen management plan.
