Nutrient Management in Organic Cropping Systems
Growing successful crops, whether a conventional or organic producer, requires providing the necessary nutrients to the plant over the course of the growing season in a timely manner. Good nutrient management, although more of a challenge on organic farms in some respects, is not unattainable. This session’s purpose is to emphasize some of the key nutrient management strategies and principles which, if implemented, can lead to strong yields on organic fields.
