The Crop Science Podcast Show - Dr. Christopher Graham: Soil Health And Nitrogen Rates | Ep. 111

In this episode of The Crop Science Podcast Show, Dr. Christopher Graham from South Dakota State University shares how soil health influences nitrogen management in crop systems. The conversation explores soil health definitions, practical indicators, and how biological processes affect fertilizer responsiveness. Dr. Graham explains why some soils respond differently to nitrogen and how producers can use soil data to guide decisions. Listen now on all major platforms.
