This is all very interesting information. I worked at a Phosphate mining operation in NC for 42 years. We mined the raw ore and processed it into multiple grades of
Phosphoric, Hydrofluoric, Silicone Tetrafluoride, and Food grade phosphoric acids, MAP, DAP fertilizers etc. Our company in recent years merged with Agrium to form NUTRIEN.
I love going back and watching the OG videos. Great video Matt.
Great video filled with lots of good information. Thanks Matt. Keep them coming!
Thanks for the video. Always knew some about this topic, but is nice to have the expanded knowledge you bring to the table.
Thank you for sharing. More bids with the 'why- are always appreciated.
Great video,just started a lawn care job.. thanks,very informative.
I’ve just found your channel and its fascinating hearing your explanation of how all this stuff works. I’ve got a lot to learn! Thank you 👍
Great stuff, I watch it every so often as I apply and watch the results.
Continuing education for me. Always great material to reference every year.
Good job Matt, nice review.
Thanks for all the great knowledge. I actually feel like I'm getting to a point where I can make educated decisions instead of guess'
Good information excellent
Thanks for make it easy to understand!
That Encap readily available Ca is good at helping to get that ph back up too
Matt, I live in the sand hills of SC. Needless to say I’ve been wondering why my tifway has been lacking the alpha factor, most likely due to my ph. Thanks for the information!
Kicken it old school while driving today
Nice Matt, you should do this for a living. Have a great Thanksgiving.
Little did young Shane know... Haha
How many lbs to the sq ft if you're at a 6 and want a 7ph? What's the optimal pH for tall fescue in North Carolina?
Is there any way to stretch the liquid nitrogen srn so u get more uses per gallon out of it?
I appreciate this, I have some new grass that is purple!
Grass Daddy i saw that! I bet soil temps and daylight hours aren't coinciding so you're seeing funky performance from your turf. you're on the money with a lack of chlorophyll production. iron, N, and magnesium will help it catch up. Throw some Epsom salt to your lawn!
Lol oh, dang!
The formulas for nitrate and sulfate given are wrong, but the info is still good.
Too high levels of sulfate can have a negative impact the beneficial soil microbial colonies in the rhizosphere
Though it does play an important role in small amounts
Matt, you do a beautiful job of explaining turfgrass agronomy. When you farmed 1000's of acres, did you ever apply AN, or AS ?
You're a fabulous teacher of singular agronomic process ..... missed a few bits that I'd add, but very correct without leaving yourself open to criticism.
At so many points, you missed the bio release effect of organic nutrient.
Seems like your training was mine.
I finished studies in the 90's (having elected to go to work right away).
Then '96, one of your gals discovered glomalin ..... and that blew all our 80yrs old science acid extraction training out the window.
'96 is nearly 30yrs ago. If it weren't for the parallels between the soil microbiome & the human microbiome, then we wouldn't be where we are.
I was entrenched in the 80/90yr old agronomy & resisted during my max prod phase ..... but it was a teen enjoyment of permaculture & a Canturf pty ltd bias toward organic, that steered me.
If it ain't permanent, you need more inputs.
That works well for the npk advisor.
D'ya know that those dreadlocks around roots in a functioning soil can be +/- 2 in pH, compared to the soil mass ?
Have you ever seen one of those graphs of nutrient availability in organic soils ? They tend to be wider distribution.
My total phos is 81 ppm, my acid extraction/soil solution available is 6 ppm, yet my plants on tissue test are at adequate levels, (actually beyond adequate considering I'm measuring native grasses & the stats are on improved species in average conditions .... while I'm on a light soil).
The regenerative ag concept is to return 30% of production to soil. If I do that in my grazing environment, then I'm spreading more than the agronomic prescribed amount of single super phosphate ..... it's nice not to have the cost of planes.
One thing we have in our favour here in Australia is kikuyu lawns. A vigorous summer grower, so we return masses of carbon. In 10ac irrigated garden/hort environment, the soil has changed from 1 inch of pale top soil, to two shovel heads deep of rich black soil in 26yrs ..... that's an improvement from pale to dark, then from 1 inch to 20 inches in 26yrs, when the old soil science that you & I learned said 13 iches was max.
@@ploughboy6356 interesting you seem like you have a ton of experience. You mentioned 4 inch roots vs 30 feet grass roots. In the humic acid video do you believe humics have benefits ir is it just all about NPK ?
@@anth115 NPK is a human creation ..... it's the best our little brains had been able to comprehend ..... but nature is a system ..... so we require systems thinking ie - mineral, structure & biology. Humic acid assists in all 3. Did you know humic acid can bond both negatively and positively charged minerals ?
@ploughboy6356 so what would you do roughly for a perfect grass using humic etc? If you wanted the greenest grass on the block no weeds
Audio difficult to hear.
I put P in the ground whenever I drink beer.
Need black pen
😂
Great information thank you! Very well done
