Recorded: 11/30/23In this episode, we are joined by two very knowledgeable researchers from UC Davis to discuss the effects fertilizer can have on soil microbial populations. Often, we are told that mineral fertilizers are deleterious to soil microbes, but you might be surprised to find that it’s not quite that simple! In addition to fertilizer impacts, we also discuss the effects of tillage practices, organic matter levels, and how microbes behave in agricultural field settings versus more natural settings.Links:Does Long-term Use of Mineral Fertilizers Affect the Soil Microbial Biomass?Host: Hosts: Joseph Akins, Penn State ExtensionGuest: Dr. Kate Scow and Dr. Daniel Geisseler Sign up for our newsletter, Field Crop News, and follow us on Facebook!
