MFA Precision Sales Manager Eric Preston said Adapt-N provides a way to be as efficient as possible with both seed and fertilizer inputs in the poorer areas of the field and boost yield potential in the better sections. todaysfarmermagazine.com/mag/crops/1566…
@rameshraliya@StoriesByEli@WUSTL I don't dispute that, what I had a problem with was that it was implied that 70% of applied nutrients ended up in waterways.
@StoriesByEli@WUSTL The article says “..plants often takes up only eight to 30 percent of nitrogen and phosphorus- based product”. The # is based on scientific facts, also published in the journal “Science” 353, 1241-1244 which says “crops capture <30% of phosphorus applied as fertilizer”. 4 more DM
Only 30 percent of the fertilizer applied to crops actually gets absorbed by plants...the rest goes into the soil and then to nearby waterways, causing dead zones and nutrient pollution, said @rameshraliya@WUSTL who's trying to make a better product twitter.com/stlpublicradio…
With a short hay supply and rain in the forecast this is a great opportunity to get some Nitrogen on your pastures. May be your best investment this year. @MFA_Inc
