Rethinking Nitrogen: What the Soil Really Tells Us - Lessons from Dr. Richard Mulvaney | Crop Cast Episode 42
In a deep-dive episode of Crop Cast, host Sean Nettleton sat down with Dr. Richard Mulvaney of the University of Illinois to challenge long-held assumptions about nitrogen (N) management. If you're still basing fertilizer decisions on yield goals alone, it's time to rethink how you're managing one of the most critical and expensive crop inputs.
From V4 to V6: Why Nodal Root Development Matters - Crop Cast Episode 38
Another agronomy deep-dive brought to you by Crop Cast. In Episode 38, host Sean Nettleton along with Jason Schley and Jaren Schley takes us beyond the basics and into the underground world of roots—specifically, the nodal roots that form during the V4 to V6 stages of corn development. This period marks a major physiological transition in the plant’s life, and the insights shared in this episode are essential listening for anyone who’s serious about maximizing yield potential.
Let’s unpack the episode—and dig deeper (pun intended) into why nodal root development during this stage is such a game-changer.
The Hidden Cost of Herbicide Stress
When it comes to maximizing yield potential in your crop, herbicide programs are a crucial piece of the puzzle. But like any crop input, herbicides can introduce unintended stress.
Stress from herbicide applications can reduce yield potential by up to 50%. That’s why recognizing the signs and knowing how to help crops recover quickly is essential for protecting plant health and preserving yield.
Learning More About the Corn Control System
The nodal root system acts as corn's control system, working day and night to develop a healthy crop. Learn how to maximize your plant’s nodal root system.
Proactive Farming: The Key to Less Stress
Stress impacts crop yield and performance, from harsh weather to nutrient shortages and water scarcity. Failing to proactively manage stress can lead to up to a 50% decrease in profitability. But, by understanding how stress impacts your crops and focusing on one simple task, you can help plants become more resilient and overcome stress events.
Fertilizer vs. Fertility: The difference between a quick fix and long-term farm profitability
In agriculture, it’s easy to focus on quick fixes rather than the bigger picture of soil fertility. At BW Fusion, we’re changing the narrative. While traditional NPK fertilizer applications can provide a short-term solution for this season’s crop, the impact of this investment only lasts as long as the crop. Rather than simply applying nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium season after season, equip your soil with a proven team of microbes to naturally build N, P and K levels—not just this season, but for years to come.
More Doesn’t Equal More: Maximizing Crop Input Efficiency with BW Fusion
In an era where agricultural budgets are increasingly constrained, growers continue to face mounting pressure to optimize crop input expenditures without compromising performance. This is where BW Fusion steps in, revolutionizing agronomic decision-making by streamlining product selection. Rather than offering a generic recommendation for all growers, we provide solutions that are tailored to your field’s unique requirements.
Answering Your Questions About Post-Harvest Biological Crop Nutrition Products
Harvest is right around the corner. That means it’s time to make sure you’re prepared for what comes next in your fields. Getting microbes in your soil this fall gives them months to build a thriving microbial community for next spring’s crop. We’re answering some of your top questions about BW Fusion’s post-harvest biological crop nutrition products.
Top 3 Insights from the Field This Season with Devin Baker
Devin Baker, Inside Sales/Technical Agronomist at BW Fusion, brings you his top takeaways this season from the fields of Indiana, Ohio and Michigan.
How Residue Digesters Increase Soil and Crop Nutrient Levels
Learn how a Guthrie County, Iowa, grower saw their phosphorus and potassium levels double after just two years of applying Meltdown.
Understanding Yellowing Soybeans
“What’s wrong with my soybeans? They just aren’t very deep green, and they’re growing slowly.” A question we’ve heard all too often this growing season.
In the past, the problem has often been Iron Deficiency Chlorosis (IDC) and HPPD inhibitor chemical carryover. But this year, another factor may be at play.
Maximizing Fall Fertility
Through decades of research, we’ve seen the benefits of biological crop nutrition products on soil health and fertility firsthand. We’ve seen growers drastically reduce their input costs through the use of BW Fusion biologicals—some have even completely eradicated traditional fertilizer applications of certain nutrients. See how biologicals can help maximize fall fertility.
