Nitrogen Fertilizers: Investigating Their Impact On Soil Quality With Richard Mulvaney
In this episode, we sit down with Richard L. Mulvaney, a Professor of Soil Fertility at the University of Illinois. He joins us today to discuss the use of nitrogen and carbon in the fertilization of plants and soil.
As an Illinois native, Richard has had a long history of connection to the region’s agricultural field. His immense interest in soil science led him to get three degrees in it – recently concentrating his research on a very intriguing topic: nitrogen fertilizer.
Join the conversation now to uncover:
How nitrogen fertilization typically occurs.
The history of nitrogen fertilization, and why it plays a large role in bolstering the food supply.
What “morrow plots” are, and what they tell us about soil organic carbon and nitrogen.
What “variable rate nitrogen” is, and how it can improve crop yields.
What is the long-term impact of nitrogen fertilizer on soil? Why is it such a staple in our food production? Tune in now to find out!
