New Videos from IPNI Feature 4R Nutrient Stewardship

Two new video programs produced by the International Plant Nutrition Institute (IPNI) and introduced in 2010 are carrying the message of 4R nutrient stewardship to audiences around the world. "The Right Way to Grow...4R Nutrient Stewardship" runs more than 11 minutes and gives an overview of the 4Rs: applying the right fertilizer source at the right rate, at the right time, and in the right place. It explains how the 4Rs can make sense for large-scale agriculture in developed countries and also to small-holder farms in less developed countries. "The Right Way to Grow Wheat...4R Nutrient Stewardship" is a separate video which runs more than 8 minutes and specifically addresses the economic, environmental, and social goals of sustainable agricultural systems needed to meet global demand for wheat.

The videos can be viewed for free by visiting the IPNI website at: http://www.ipni.net/video

Both programs are also available on DVD and can be purchased from IPNI at US$10.00 each, plus shipping.

Better Crops with Plant Food

Better Crops with Plant Food Issue No. 4 of 2009 Now Available Online




The current issue of Better Crops with Plant Food (2009, No. 4) includes topics of interest to many involved in agricultural crop production and research. One of the featured articles is titled "Does Fertilizer N 'Burn Up' Soil Organic Matter?" It reports on a long-term Kentucky study evaluating the impact of tillage and N rates on crop yield and soil organic matter. An article on ammonia emissions from agricultural operations takes a closer look at economic, environmental, and other factors as related to N fertilizer management. The recipient of the 2009 IPNI Science Award is announced and winners of the 2009 IPNI Scholar Awards are introduced. Concepts for facilitating the improvement of crop productivity and nutrient use efficiency are discussed, including 4R nutrient stewardship, mainstreaming of simulation models, and global data networks. The issue carries an update on chloride fertilization and soil testing in Kansas. There is a tribute in memory of Dr. Norman Borlaug. A back-cover commentary takes another look at the importance of fertilizer for food production.
