A Focus on Nutrient-Use Efficiency

With continued tight profit margins in 2026, Koch Agronomic Services Director of Agronomy Tim Latsch says nutrient-use efficiency must be a priority. “A couple of things I would encourage farmers to think about, one would be phosphorus use efficiency.; What tools can I employ to get the most out of the phosphorus that’s already in my soil?” said Latsch. “The second would be seed enhancement. What tools can I employ to get the most out of the investment that I make in genetics?” Latsch says a new generation of seed treatments is available that helps optimize seed performance in the ground.
