Larry combined alternative fertilizers with synthetic nitrogen sources for field corn production in order to determine the yield and economics, relative to synthetic fertilizers alone.
- Larry’s results showed that yields decreased when he used the mix of alternative and synthetic fertilizers.
- Although there was some cost savings with the treatment protocols, the cost savings per acre could not justify the yield decrease compared to synthetic fertilizers alone.
- Overall, Larry’s trial demonstrates the power of farmer-led research for testing products for your own farm.
