Adding biologicals to your crop management plan could help ease fertilizer expenses in 2022.
Melanie Burk with Meristem Crop Performance tells Brownfield with record high fertilizer prices, ag input dollars will be stretched thin.
“Most farmers are telling me that as far as fertility, they are going to spend the same amount of money they have spent in the past but just decide where that money goes. Meaning they are going to by less, but the same dollar value.”
She says biologicals cannot totally replace fertilizer, but they can provide some of the nutrients plants need at a lower cost.
