Irrigation practices in MN: Benefits and risks, partnerships & the importance of nutrient management
<p>Irrigation is the topic of discussion of today's episode of the Nutrient Management Podcast. What are current irrigation conditions in Minnesota? How is the aquifer in the Central Sands region recharged, and why is it so important to manage nutrients efficiently when irrigating? What new irrigation and nutrient management research is being conducted by the University of Minnesota? What are some of the benefits and risks associated with irrigation - and what practices might a farmer want to focus on first? What partnerships and financial resources are available for Minnesota farmers interested in adopting irrigation practices? Are there smaller practices that a grower new to irrigation might want to consider? What have farmers reported back to our panelists after having adopted irrigation practices? What are irrigation practices like throughout the rest of the country, and how does Minnesota differ?

Sidedressing nitrogen: The rationale, past research & potential risks in split-applying
<p>Brad Carlson and Dan Kaiser discuss sidedressing in today's Advancing Nitrogen Smart Podcast episode. What's the big-picture rationale behind sidedressing? How can sidedressing or split-applying be beneficial in terms of avoiding nitrogen loss? Since nitrogen uptake isn't linear, what growth stages coincide with peak daily demand on the crop? Are there any significant risks in starting a sidedress application early in the season? What have past experiments shown regarding positive and / or negative responses to sidedressing? How should inhibitors be used with sidedress / topdress? What should farmers know about soil types and tile drainage when making sidedress decisions? This and much more on the 37th episode of the Advancing Nitrogen Smart podcast series.</p><p><strong>Guests:</strong></p><ul><li>Brad Carlson, Extension educator (Mankato)</li><li>Dan Kaiser, Extension nutrient management specialist (St. Paul)</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Additional resources:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://blog-crop-news.extension.umn.edu/2020/06/things-to-consider-when-sidedressing.html">Things to consider when sidedressing nitrogen</a></li><li><a href="https://blog-crop-news.extension.umn.edu/2023/03/split-applying-nitrogen-for-corn-three.html">Split-applying nitrogen for corn: Three keys for successful sidedress applications</a> (YouTube)</li><li><a href="https://blog-crop-news.extension.umn.edu/2025/06/whats-right-psnt-number-new-research.html">What's the right PSNT number?
