On this episode of the Strip-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Yetter, University of Illinois soil scientist Andrew Margenot shares key takeaways from his long-term phosphorous (P) studies.
Margenot’s research group focuses on everything from NPK recommended rates, soil test values, removal rates and more. He’s currently leading the charge on a project to analyze thousands of soil samples dating back to the late 1800s — the largest soil samples archive in the world.
Margenot talks about the significance of the project, why strip-tillers should take a multi-year approach to P use efficiency, the fate of nitrogen (N) in MAP and DAP applications and new ways to maximize P uptake. He also touches on horizontal vs. vertical stratification, nutrient management strategies for 2025, and takes us behind the scenes of a meeting he attended with the EPA to discuss why farmers are being unfairly blamed for P losses.
