Polysulphate research from Dr. Carl Rosen shows an increase in total AND marketable yields when compared to grower standard practice Despite its vital role in optimum crop performance, sulfur has...

Potatoes demand adequate sulfur levels for nitrogen uptake, chlorophyll production, tuber development, stress and pest resistance, carbohydrate generation, amino acid formation and vitamin synthesis

Soil dwelling nematodes are a serious threat to crop performance. They affect a range of crops including potatoes, carrots, cereals, raspberries and strawberries, both directly and indirectly often inflicting severe...

Using these fumigants to control soil-borne diseases had positive effects on the crop beyond disease control. Total and marketable yield and tuber set were higher in plots treated with either...

Root lesion nematode is a tiny pest, about one millimetre in length. But it has an outsized ability to damage potatoes in Canada. The reason? It’s part of a complex...

Two advisors and a researcher recently discussed the most important issues about green manures in an online meeting during the Bioknowledge Week. When is the best time to sow green manure...

The results of the analysis of scientific data show that in the last decade a steady deficit of macro- and microelements in the soil has formed, due to their significant...

Nitrogen is dizzyingly expensive. Anyone who neglects the basic nutrients now also slows down nitrogen uptake. Extremely high fertilizer prices , especially for nitrogen - who doesn't think about reducing it? This should be...

Potato is an important crop in the United States, with a value of $4.02 billion (USDA-NASS 2018). Florida produces one-third of the winter/spring crop in the nation and is ranked...

If you decide that the benefits of foliar fertilization are worth the cost, here are a few suggestions:
