Fertilizer vs Fertility - continue:

Approach 2: Hurry Up & Wait

Experienced growers at this level understand the challenge of nutrient availability later in the season and carefully time nutrient applications to tackle this, aiming for greater efficiency. Rather than relying on a one-time fertilizer application for season-long fertility, these growers make a few separate applications throughout the season to boost nutrient levels.

However, this approach has drawbacks, like increased workload and susceptibility to weather conditions. It’s crucial to ensure there’s enough moisture to properly integrate the materials and dissolve the fertilizer so plants can utilize it effectively. This grower sees their nutrient tank is half full and knows they have enough to get through the season if they’re efficient enough.

The Strategy Behind the Spend
Over the yearThe Strategy Behind the Spends, we’ve identified three categories of growers based on their soil fertility strategy. These general examples help illustrate the short-term and long-term differences resulting from various input approaches.

Approach 1: Fast & Furious
These growers have been taught to use plenty of fertilizer early in the season, with the goal of applying enough nutrients to be plant-available late-season when crops need them most. In reality, this creates an overabundance of nutrition early in the season and deficiencies later in the year.

The longer fertilizer exists within the soil, the more nutrients can be tied up in the soil, lowering availability by the day. While nutrient applications are 100% plant-available to start, the plant-available nutrition quickly deteriorates, forcing the other two nutrition pools out of balance. Year after year, you’ll notice the total nutrient pool increasing, while the plant-available nutrient pool continues to decline.

Thinking of the soil’s nutrient availability like a tank of gas in your car, this grower is running on empty stopping to fill up the tank just enough to make the drive home, but not investing to reach the full capacity.

Fertilizer vs Fertility: The difference between a quick fix and long-term farm profitability

In agriculture, it’s easy to focus on quick fixes rather than the bigger picture of soil fertility. At AgVida, we’re changing the narrative.

While traditional NPK fertilizer applications can provide a short-term solution for this season’s crop, the impact of this investment only lasts as long as the crop. By taking a new approach with biologicals, growers can get to the root of soil fertility and create long-term, sustainable solutions.

Rather than simply applying nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium season after season, equip your soil with a proven team of microbes to naturally build N, P and K levels—not just this season, but for years to come.
