Nitrogen in Soil Could Cost Five Cents a Pound
A recent report shows nitrogen can be added to soil by turning under legume cover crops for five cents a pound, versus 17 cents with commercial fertilizer. Corn yields rose to 104 bushels per acre on clover-treated plots, while untreated plots yielded 50 bushels. Texas Experiment Stations report similar results, with grazing impacts minimal if legume is allowed to regrow. Organic matter from legumes improves water retention and erosion control, and inoculated seeds help nitrogen fixation. Five cents per pound vs seventeen with fertilizer, plus long-term soil health benefits. Farm readers urged to plant winter legumes and inoculate seeds. livestock grazing can offset any minor reductions.
