How do soil pH and stratification affect NUE? Soil pH plays a critical role in maximizing nutrient use efficiency (NUE) in crop production, but variability across soil layers can create costly uptake challenges. Join ICL agronomists Dr. Jason Haegele and Christi Falen for a comprehensive webinar on managing soil pH to optimize nutrient use efficiency economically. This session will cover the fundamentals of soil pH, its variability across soil layers, and how precise, economical approaches to fertilization can improve nutrient uptake and unlock soil-P reserves.

What We’ll Cover

• Understand the relationship between soil pH, nutrient availability, and plant growth, including the challenges of pH variability across soil layers and its impact on nutrient uptake.
• Explore the role of inputs like acidifying fertilizers (Nova PeKacid and Agrolution pHLow) and specialty granulars (Polysulphate) in enhancing phosphorus availability and optimizing nutrient use.
• Learn how to synchronize nutrient release with plant demand to maximize nutrient use efficiency (NUE) and minimize nutrient loss.
• Address nutrient stratification, soil compaction, and surface accumulation through best practices, including fertilizer choices, cover crops, no-till, and biological inputs (BIOZ) to develop efficient and cost-effective fertilization strategies.
