Nutrient Management  for Vegetable Crops Training, Massachusetts

NESFP Field Training Announcement Join us on June 2, 2011 at 4:00 pm:

Spring has sprung and all the farmers we know are in their fields planting up a storm! Before you plant, though, do you know what nutrients your hungry plants will need for good health, vigor and yield over this growing season?

Please join New Entry in the fields on Thursday to learn about taking soil samples for a soil test, interpreting soil test results, and how to apply the test recommendations through appropriate nutrient management. We’ll be sure to teach you about how to manage nutrients through the use of cover crops, soil amendments and foilar applications.
