Roots are essential for nutrient and water uptake, but how do you know if your roots are healthy and functioning?

In this part one of two episodes Dr. Rob Michelson teaches us about the vital connection between soil health, root systems, and plant performance. He emphasizes nutrient management's role in fostering root development, enhancing fertilizer efficiency, and boosting agricultural productivity. The discussion underscores how understanding root health and the rhizosphere can improve sustainable farming practices and overall crop nutrition. Key takeaways include the importance of addressing soil compaction, balancing soil acidity, and leveraging micronutrients to support robust root systems. This holistic approach integrates soil science and agronomy to optimize plant health and farm profitability.
