Each year, new agronomic solutions are introduced for growers to consider using to help them better their operation. The best of those allow growers to use fewer resources, potentially saving them money in the long run and promoting a more sustainable future.
Thanks to agronomic research being conducted around the world, advances are being made each day to help growers produce more with fewer resources. And that work not only helps to feed people across the globe, it also creates value for society as a whole.
As you start to plan for next year, you may be looking for expenses to cut from your overall budget. We're here to tell you why the investment in nitrogen stabilizers can give your operation an edge.
Debunking the Myth: More Nitrogen is Not Always the Answer
While soil CEC is a critical component for soil, there are common misconceptions when it comes to its relationship with nutrients. To understand the relationship between soil CEC and nutrients, we need to understand the chemistry behind the soil and the nutrients found or applied to the soil.
For more than a decade, Justin Speth has worked in agriculture retail. He’s been hands-on with products since he started his career. During much of that time, he has faced challenges with the nitrogen stabilizer products he was using on anhydrous ammonia and urea ammonium nitrate (UAN).
With the recent trends in fluctuating commodity pricing, growers know they need to protect their valuable nitrogen inputs — from a financial, plant growth and sustainability standpoint.
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.
As input costs climb to historic levels, growers around the globe are being forced to take a critical look at their nitrogen management strategies.
James Leonard grew up on a row crop farm with livestock. As far back as he can remember, he loved agriculture.
Getting the most out of your input investment is important to every grower. In east central Iowa, Jamie Vesely is someone growers lean on for input advice.
No matter the conditions, protecting applied nitrogen is an important part of a strong nutrient management plan.
If you’ve been around agriculture for more than a few days, then you know weather can be a fickle friend and this year may be setting up to be no different.
Many growers across the U.S. haven’t turned a wheel this spring. Spring rains, and in certain parts of the country cold conditions with snowfall and cool soils, have delayed field work this season.

You know that the plant uptake of key nutrients can make or break your crop’s yield potential. Without essential nutrient availability at the root zone, your crop will not reach optimal growth and you could miss out on the payout at harvest. But do you know the critical factors that can impact plant growth?
Growers are looking for options to save money. Some may consider reducing costs by not protecting their applied nitrogen, but the numbers won’t add up the way they think they will.
Growers have to make many decisions that can have positive and negative consequences for their crops. What seed hybrid should they plant? When should they irrigate? What pests do they need to spray for this year? But one decision that could have the greatest effect on a grower’s bottom line: skimping or skipping the use of a nitrogen stabilizer to protect their input investment.
