Soil fertility is subject to change over the course of the growing season and requires active management. A good fertility management program helps to ensure that commercial crop and forage production is efficient, as well as economically and environmentally sustainable. In recent years, extended periods of wet, dry or drought conditions have necessitated a fertility management approach that anticipates how such conditions impact plant available nutrients and nutrient loss. In this workshop, University of Maine Assistant Scientist, Bruce Hoskins, will discuss fertility management strategies for Maine followed by a demonstration of best practices in soil sampling with UMaine Cooperative Extension Sustainable Agriculture Educator, Brett Johnson.
