Course Description: Even with the strong commodity prices, higher fertility prices are putting pressure on growers and forcing them to rethink their nutrient management plan. Learn how to leverage information from soil tests to revamp your fertility program. Dive into the benefits of foliar nutrition and biostimulants, and how to include them into your overall …
Course Overview: During nutrient uptake by the roots, antagonistic and synergistic interaction between nutrients often occurs. This course reviews the specific relationships between potassium and nitrogen; potassium and magnesium; sulphur and molybdenum; boron and potassium; and phosphorus and zinc; and explores what causes these complex interactions. Course Details: Time: 55 minutes video + quiz time …
Course Description: Copper is key to crop production since it activates several enzymes, stimulates protein formulation and is critical for photosynthesis, protein and carbohydrate metabolism and respiration. In this couse we will cover the basics on copper, importance of copper nutrition, effect of copper on ergot and how the addition of copper can fit into your …
Course Description Zinc is the most common micronutrient deficiency in crop production on both a global and local level. Zinc plays a significant role in both crop and human nutrition. This series of lectures will focus on the factors that affect zinc availability to the plant, and the roles zinc plays within the plant. In addition, there …
Course Overview: Boron is essential for cell wall formation and rapid growing points within the plant, such as reproductive structures. In this course learn why Boron is more than a reproductive or flowering nutrient and the role Boron plays in root structure development and the prevention of ‘leaky’ roots. Learn the basics of Boron, the importance of …
Course Overview: There are many different forms of a given nutrient; knowing the form and how the plant responds to it is critical in treating and preventing a crop’s nutrient deficiency. This course reviews the different forms of nutrients and how they work in the soil as well as, as a foliar application. It dives …
Course Overview: Potassium has the power to impact many important processes including stomatal activity, photo assimilate movement, disease resistance and insect infestation, and overall plant growth and yield. This course dives into potassium’s involvement in these processes and why we observe such an impact on plant health and yield in potassium deficient conditions. Upon successfully …
Course Description: The majority of seeds are nutrient imbalanced right from the start. The course discusses how we can restore the balance in seeds and young seedlings using a combination of seed applied nutrition, biostimulants, and crop protection – to ultimately set the plant up with the foundation it needs to maximize its genetic potential. …
Course Overview: Soil phosphorus levels are decreasing at an alarming rate year over year; simply because nutrient removal is exceeding application. This course gives you the information you need to ensure crops are supplied with the right form of phosphorus, at the right time, in the right place, and at the appropriate rate. With this …
Course Description: To achieve the full genetic potential of your crop, you should keep two things in mind: 1) the plant is always under stress and 2) photosynthesis is what drives yield. What does plant nutrition have to do this this? Everything. This course breaks down the basics of plant nutrition to give you a …
