Jason Evans believes every acre should deliver a return. Farming 2,600 acres in Indiana — including 1,050 acres of corn and 1,550 acres of soybeans — Jason is focused on improving soil health, nutrient efficiency, and increasing ROI through precision fertility management. His operation includes both white and yellow corn, carefully managed to prevent contamination…
The purple coloration appearing in this V2 corn field is a strong indicator of early-season phosphorus (P) deficiency. At this stage, young corn plants rely heavily on accessible phosphorus to support rapid root development, energy transfer, and early vegetative growth. When uptake is restricted, anthocyanin pigments accumulate in the leaf tissue, creating the purple to…
Introduction: The Importance of Soil and Tissue Testing Modern agriculture is no longer driven by assumptions, tradition, or uniform input programs. The margin for error has narrowed. Fertility costs have increased. Weather volatility has intensified. Yield expectations continue to rise across corn, soybeans, wheat, and specialty crop systems throughout the continental United States. In this…
Introduction: Understanding the Value and Role of Each Method in Modern Crop Management Modern agriculture does not fail on a lack of inputs. It fails on inefficient placement, incomplete understanding of soil biology, and reactive nutrient management. Across the continental United States, producers are operating under tighter margins, higher yield expectations, and more variable weather…
Introduction – The Importance of Soil Testing Soil testing is no longer a supplemental agronomic practice—it is the foundation of modern crop production strategy. In a production environment defined by tight margins, volatile input costs, and increasing yield expectations, the ability to accurately quantify what is happening beneath the soil surface determines profitability before a…
Soil and tissue sampling are essential practices in modern agriculture, providing critical information for effective crop management. These techniques help farmers and agronomists understand the nutrient status of soils and plants, optimize fertilizer use, and improve crop yields while minimizing environmental impacts. This article explores the importance of soil and tissue sampling through six key…
Introduction In today’s competitive and environmentally conscious agricultural landscape, continuous innovation in product development is essential for achieving sustainable crop production, conserving natural resources, and improving farm economy. As a leader in sustainable soil and plant products, Monty’s Plant Food employs a multi-tiered, rigorous approach to product validation and optimization. This structured research protocol progresses…
By Fritzie Chen, R&D Scientist / Lab Manager, Monty’s Plant Food A growing number of farmers are becoming increasingly aware of the deteriorating condition of agricultural land. The relentless pursuit of higher crop yields has taken a toll on soil health. It is essential to understand that soil is not merely dirt; soil is a complex,…
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a fundamental component of soil health and fertility, playing a crucial role in agricultural productivity, environmental sustainability, and climate change mitigation. This article explores the importance of SOC by examining its chemical, physical, and biological benefits, illustrating how SOC enhances soil functionality and contributes to a sustainable ecosystem. 1. Chemical…
Soil salinity, the accumulation of soluble salts in soil, poses a significant threat to agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability worldwide. While salts are naturally occurring compounds, human activities such as irrigation, improper soil management, and industrial processes can exacerbate soil salinity. In this article, we will delve into the negative impacts of salt on soil…
