    Date: March 5, 2021

    Time: 7:30 - 8:30 a.m. CT

    Topic: Feeding Your Field ‒ Nutrient Uptake for Corn Production


    Dr. Stephen Strachan will speak on how essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are only valuable if they successfully travel from the soil to the corn roots and how you as a farmer can improve nutrient uptake efficiency overall.


    This webinar will cover:

    • The role of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium from the perspective of a corn plant
    • How nutrients are stored in the soil and extracted by the corn root
    • Facts about soil chemistry and plant physiology
    • Opportunities for farmers to increase corn yields through nutrient management
