This is a recording of a live webinar that took place on July 30, 2020. Managing Phosphorus remains an important issue on organic farms. You will hear theory and practical research on the subject, as well as learn how to diagnose P deficiencies, how to replace P exported in Crops, P cycling using cover crops, and how to calculate a P budget for a field or farm.
