Webinar “Soil Fertility Planning in Practice: Tools and Strategies for Smarter Input Decisions”

ABOUT THIS WEBINAR: Making sound fertilizer decisions requires reliable data, practical tools, and a working understanding of soil science. In this webinar, agronomist Lyle Cowell (Nutrien) walks through a live demonstration of two online fertility calculators — Input Planning and Dry Fertilizer — and reviews a range of freely available digital resources for soil fertility management, including research content, geographic soil data, crop guides, ROI tools, and CEU learning opportunities available through the eKonomics platform.

The session is designed for agronomists, crop consultants, and farmers looking to strengthen their fertility planning process with science-based tools.


WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

  • How to use the Input Planning and Dry Fertilizer calculators for on-farm decision-making
  • How to navigate and apply publicly available soil fertility resources
  • Where to find current research, crop guides, geographic soil data, and ROI modeling tools
  • How to access CEU credit opportunities available through the eKonomics platform
