Acidic Soil Management Webinar Set
Ryan Buetow
DEVILS LAKE - Producers and others will have an opportunity to learn about acidic soil management during a webinar that North Dakota State University Extension is hosting March 25.
The event will run from 9 to 11 a.m. Mountain time.
“We’re seeing stratified soil acidity where the pH is below 5.5 in portions of fields and, in some cases, across entire fields in western North Dakota,” says Ryan Buetow, Extension cropping systems specialist based at NDSU’s Dickinson Research Extension Center. “This can lead to aluminum toxicity, nutrient tie-up, issues with herbicide carryover and reduced microbial activity. We’re continuing on-farm projects in 2021 and have put together multiple resources including Soil Sense Podcast episodes, YouTube videos, Extension publications and educational events.”
