The experts we’ve heard from on our previous episodes have covered topics ranging from how different crops use nitrogen to the 4R’s of Nutrient Stewardship and how growers and retailers work together to choose the best input for an operation. If you haven’t checked out the previous prior nine episodes, you can find them on your favorite podcast platform.
In this episode, we look at nitrogen loss and weigh the cost of nitrogen stabilizers with the value they bring to your operation. You’ll hear from two representatives from Koch Agronomic Services: Derek Rapp, technical agronomist, and Kate Koehler, director of product management and communications. They’ll provide an overview of nitrogen loss solutions and the many tools available to growers through their online Knowledge Center.
