Potassium is an essential nutrient that is required by crops in large quantities. In western Canada we often assume that potassium levels in soil are adequate without fertilizer addition, but a long history of removal without replacement is beginning to break the soil bank in some soils.
Join Lyle Cowell, senior agronomist, Nutrien for a free webinar on Dec. 7 at 10:00 a.m. CT where he will highlight how we can better approach potassium supply, leading to improved plant-water balance and enhanced crop health and resilience.
This webinar is approved for 1.0 CCA-CEU in Nutrient Management.
