The transition from summer to fall can bring tremendous uncertainty for beef cattle producers. The shorter day length not only signals the coming cooler weather, but also the end of the growing season for most forages, especially warm-season grasses.

Should growers consider polymer-coated urea?

January 8, 2021

Fabian Fernandez and Daniel Kaiser

Wetter conditions in recent years have led to more questions about polymer-coated urea. Polymer-coated urea is a urea granule that is coated with a polymer that slows the release of urea into the soil. The most widely available polymer-coated urea product on the market for production agriculture is ESN. The most important thing to understand about polymer-coated urea is that it is not an inhibitor like nitrapyrin or DCD.

More bang for your buck: Which nitrogen applications for irrigated pasture?

April 30, 2020

Justin Hatch, Bracken Henderson, and Joseph Sagers

Nitrogen (N) plays a key role in growing healthy, productive pastures. It is often the most limiting nutrient in grasses. Adding N fertilizers to pastures is one approach to boost productivity. While many fertilizers contain N, which formulation supplies the best yield and economic returns on irrigated pasture?
