Welcome to episode 251 of Growers Daily! We cover: we are taking a question from a flower grower wondering about synthetic fertilizers to address soil deficiencies, meta pirating farm books for AI, and it's feedback Friday. We are a Non-Profit!
I explain why I recommend collecting soil nutrient samples to a 10 cm (4 inch depth). I also discuss the importance of repeated soil sampling in order to check the change in test results over time. I look at a photo gallery from the 2025 Danish Golf Championship.Posts discussed include:https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/recommended-soil-sampling-depth-for-turfgrass/https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/a-pesticide-free-golf-course/PACE Turf post about Vixen 7x stand loupes: https://www.paceturf.org/memberedition/where-to-find-small-magnifying-loupesRead more about all kinds of turfgrass topics at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/Find a suite of decision-making tools at https://www.paceturf.org/Get free ATC newsletters at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/newsletter/ Find out more about soil tests with ATC at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/project/soil-tests/

Today, we delve into the Garden Basics archive for three segments about the importance of building your soil in the fall. We talk with America's Favorite Retired College Horticulture professor, Debbie Flower, and Sacramento's Organic Advocate, Steve Zien. We explore the vital role of nitrogen in gardening. We address a listener's concern about low nitrogen levels in soil, discussing the challenges of measurement as well as alternative testing methods. We emphasize the significance of organic amendments, such as compost and cover cropping, particularly with crops like fava beans, to enhance nitrogen levels and overall soil health. Our conversation also covers the detrimental effects of high-salt synthetic fertilizers. And, we talk about sustainable gardening practices that promote nutrient cycling and plant growth.Previous episodes, show notes, links, product information, and transcripts at the home site for Garden Basics with Farmer Fred, GardenBasics.net.

With lackluster crop prices, volatile trade markets and rising fertilizer costs, there's a lot of pressure on grower profitability. One helpful step is better managing input costs without giving up performance, which can be done through Redox technology, powered by RAM.RAM, Redox Active Molecules, is a scientific term that describes molecules that give or take a charge, helping plant charge balance even in times of stress.The Redox Bio-Nutrients product line contains RAM technology, including patented and proven RDX-N®, which provides unrivaled nitrogen optimization.“We know synthetic nitrogen use in agriculture is often inefficient,” said Aimee Burke, Agronomy and Business Development for the Redox Midwest. “RDX-N allows the plant to extract nutrients and utilize them more efficiently. The outcome of that is better plant growth and higher yields.”Also packing a major nutritional punch is Rootex®, which stimulates root branching. It's also an excellent source of phosphorus. “I think growers are understanding the key to healthy roots, and how Rootex can benefit that,” said John Parrish of the Midwest agronomy team. “This is especially important with expensive phosphorus prices.”The XPRT Farm in Missouri Valley, Iowa, provides more than 500 acres of corn and soybeans, where growers can see firsthand the power of Redox technology. “We're just getting started and are so excited,” Burke said. “One of the core values of our company is to tell the truth. We have been sharing from the fields. We wanted to ground truth RAM Technology in the Midwest, and that's what the XPRT Farm allows us to do.”Find out more at https://www.redoxgrows.com/midwest/, for regular updates as well as detailed product information.
Recently U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin along Chuck Grassley, and Joni Ernst from Iowa introduced a bipartisan legislation to help lower the cost of fertilizer by allowing more transparency for the farmers on market factors causing rising costs. This bill is being endorsed by many groups, including the Wisconsin Corn Growers Association. To give more insight on the need for this bill is WCGA member Shane Goplin who is a farmer with HV Acres LLC. He says the government needs to help “answer the why’s.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Replenish Nutrients CEO Neil Wiens joined Steve Darling to announce the company has closed a new licensing agreement with MJ Ag Solutions Ltd., a Northern Alberta-based fertilizer distributor, alongside the launch of a proprietary pellet fertilizer product line. As the company gears up for a busy fall season, the new licensing deal enables Replenish's partner to manage manufacturing, with both parties contributing to sales efforts. Importantly, the agreement requires no upfront capital expenditures from Replenish, with working capital obligations shared between the two companies. Initial production runs are set to begin within weeks, with volumes expected to scale to 800 metric tonnes per month, supplementing output from Replenish's Beiseker granulation facility. The pelletized products complement Replenish's existing blended and granulated offerings, delivering equivalent soil health benefits while lowering production costs and simplifying manufacturing. They also provide growers with practical advantages, including easy storage, transport by truck or rail, and broad compatibility with standard farm spreading equipment. Wiens emphasized that this expansion represents a meaningful step in driving cash flow growth for Replenish while enhancing scalability and margins through the new pellet fertilizer business. #proactiveinvestors #replenishnutrientsholdingscorp #cse #erth #otc #vvivf #RegenerativeAgriculture #FertilizerInnovation #SustainableFarming #CropGrowth #NeilWiens #AgricultureNews #Farming2025 #ProactiveInvestors #SustainableSolutions #Agritech #FertilizerInnovation #MJAgSolutions #PelletFertilizer #ProbioticSoil #BeisekerFacility #CanadianAgriculture

This week, Joanne welcomes Aaron Deacon from BIOS Nutrients back to the podcast to discuss the newest addition to his product line, a game-changing plant fertilizer in collaboration with Ryzome and the ZooShare Cooperative. You can learn more about Aaron and BIOS Nutrients here. Natural Fertilizer Innovation and Philosophy Aaron started BIOS Nutrients five years ago after being laid off during COVID, initially focusing on making natural fertilizers and pesticides for cannabis growing. Expanded from houseplants to gardening and commercial growing, developing a commercially registered liquid fertilizer made from food waste. Aaron explained his fermentation-based approach to creating fertilizers, which mimics natural soil decomposition processes and emphasizes the importance of microbial diversity in soil health. Healthy soil is more important than new soil, and local organic compost is crucial in building soil ecosystems that are adapted to specific local conditions. BIOS + Rysome New Plant Fertilizer BIOS Nutrients has a new partnership with Lexi, who runs Rysome, a company that repurposes construction waste into plant fertilizers. Together, they developed a new liquid fertilizer that provides immediate nutrient availability, unlike their original dry formulation. BIOS Nutrients' collaboration with the Toronto Zoo's digester facility, which processes food waste into a fertilizer byproduct The development and testing of the new liquid plant fertilizer, "BIOS +Rysome," which has shown promising results with soybean farmers. The challenges of transitioning from synthetic to natural fertilizers, and the need for education and practical solutions for farmers. The importance of soil health and the use of cover crops like clover for nutrient replenishment. Aaron's shift from focusing on indoor cannabis growing to outdoor agriculture and houseplants was driven by a passion for teaching others about sustainable soil practices. Natural Gardening Solutions with Yucca The benefits and uses of yucca extract and plant soap for gardening. Yucca extract is a natural soil rehydrator and wetting agent that can improve the effectiveness of fertilizers and pesticides by lowering surface tension. Plant soap made from deep-fried herbs in canola oil serves as an insecticidal soap and fungicide. Aaron recommended the plant soap for pest control while cautioning about its high pH and proper use. Natural Gardening Products The benefits and affordability of natural gardening products, particularly liquid fertilizers and sulphur-based products. BIOS Nutrients has plans to offer commercial-sized liquid fertilizers in various volumes and Aaron highlighted the advantages of their sulphur product, which is more environmentally friendly and effective than traditional lime sulphur solutions. Aaron shared tips on cost-effective soil building using natural and free resources. Plant-Based Packaging and Shipping Challenges Aaron explained that shipping costs and environmental concerns led them to focus on selling concentrates rather than premixed products. Sustainable packaging options, including aluminum and glass, and the challenges of recycling. Sheridan Nurseries Product Expansion Aaron discussed his journey of getting BIOS Nutrients products into Sheridan Nurseries, a major gardening retailer in Ontario. His company's products, including plant soap, yucca, liquid and dry fertilizers, are now stocked in all seven of their locations.

As input costs continue to put a strain on farmers' bottom lines, a concerning trend has emerged for fertilizer prices. Mike Davis takes a look at the numbers.
Fertilizer prices appear to be on the rise again. While they have not hit the record high they reached in 2022, Faith Parum, an economist with the American Farm Bureau Federation, says some products, like phosphates, are climbing higher.

After harvest, many growers will be thinking about fall nitrogen applications. Corteva Agriscience Nitrogen Stabilizers Strategic Account Manager, Ty Stender, says because nitrogen is susceptible to loss through leaching and denitrification, farmers should consider the right N stabilizer to protect nitrogen in the soil over the winter to ensure it's available come spring.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
