The Fallacy of Mainstream Potassium and Nitrogen Fertilization with Richard Mulvaney

In this episode of the Regenerative Agriculture Podcast, John Kempf interviews Dr. Richard Mulvaney to discuss nitrogen uptake in crops, how soil can provide most of the needed nitrogen, the conditions that can make nitrogen fertilizer applications a waste of money, and the fallacy that applied nitrogen builds soil organic matter. Dr. Mulvaney also describes the significant amounts of potassium that are plant-available in the soil and the “potassium paradox”, the damaging cycle that can be developed by applying potash. Listen in to learn how to address nitrogen and potassium in your soils to save money and improve yields.
