Testing the effectiveness of microbials and fertility management (New)

Jake Hicks

The project will be conducted on a three farm in Gales Township that has both high and low fertility areas. The high and low fertility rates would come from the top and the bottom of University of Minnesota MTRN (maximum return to N value) range to compare the performance of crops treated with the three microbial products (Pivot Bio, Envita and Source) to those that are not treated.

Expected Outcomes:

1. Improved crop yields and soil health in the high and low fertility management systems treated with the microbial products.
2. Identification of any potential challenges or drawbacks of using the microbial products in these management systems.
3. Recommendations for the use of the microbial products in high and low fertility management systems based on the results of the trials.
