What is soil health?
Greater than the sum of parts

Driving Factors Affecting Nitrogen Use Efficiency
Cropping system/rotation – Soil factors – type, structure, organic matter, drainage
– Rotation/fertilizer history
– Timing of residue input
– Residue composition
– Tillage method/intensity
Temperature/moisture
Soil microbial community

NUE trialing on farm– How do we measure it?
What are some of the options? – Split applications

NUE trialing on farm – factors to consider?
Abiotic factors
– Soil moisture, soil temperature, growing season length
Input Costs
– Fertilizer, seed, time, labor, etc.
Equipment costs
– Availability, depreciation, knowledge and training
Cover crops
– Early season growth, timing of incorporation and nitrogen release, composition
Manure
– Supply, distance, composition

Context and scope of inferences – Cropping systems
– Geography specific features
– Management practices
NUE trialing on farm – Analyses and inferences

NUE trialing on farm - Practical outcomes for farmers
Better understanding of soil health linkages
Improved analytical methods
Better recommendations and education – On-farm, supply chain, consumer
Better decision enablement tools – Precision conservation

• Consistent Soils
• Segregated Tile Outlets
• 1 Ton Gypsum Applied
• Water Samples During Tile Flow

What has changed ?
• Are Fertility Applications Guilty?
–Rates and Timing
• Rates of P Have Actually
Decreased
• Soil Testing and VRT Have
Increased Dramatically
![Page 14: Nutrient Management and Soil Amendments Sessionsymposium.greenleafadvisors.net/wp-content/uploads/... · Gypsum as a Soil Amendment and Potential for Water Quality Benefits Warren](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050206/5f593d9ed6042b5c825ba57b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What has changed ?
• Soil Test Levels are Not Big
• Cover Crops
• No on Frozen Ground
• Livestock Permits
• Strip Till/ Injection
![Page 15: Nutrient Management and Soil Amendments Sessionsymposium.greenleafadvisors.net/wp-content/uploads/... · Gypsum as a Soil Amendment and Potential for Water Quality Benefits Warren](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050206/5f593d9ed6042b5c825ba57b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What has changed ?
• EQIP and Conservation Practices
• Costs are Up
• Yields / Stand Improvements
• Why Wasn’t Lake Erie Green 10
years ago?

Why is Lower pH on Top?
• Acidifying Surface Fertilizers
• Shallow Roots Exchanging H+
• Rainfall
• In the Clay Soils of WLEB-
• pH INCREASES as you go deeper in the profile
• Lack of Inversion Tillage Maintains the Lower pH surface
![Page 17: Nutrient Management and Soil Amendments Sessionsymposium.greenleafadvisors.net/wp-content/uploads/... · Gypsum as a Soil Amendment and Potential for Water Quality Benefits Warren](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050206/5f593d9ed6042b5c825ba57b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What Farmers Can Do
• Operate Under This Assumption:
–P is more soluble in (on) our soils
than it used to be • Reduce P Rates
• Build Soil Test Data Base
• Practice 4Rs
• Cover Crops
• Employ Practices that Enhance Soil Health –
Increasing Recoverability

Summary of Gypsum Application Effects
The equation of the line that defines the points on the graph is y =
43.85 – 0.02063x where “y” is the percent reduction in
phosphorus concentration and “x” is the number of days since
gypsum application.
