Kernza
In this episode of the Nutrient Management Podcast, we discuss Kernza, on track to becoming the world's first perennial grain crop. What is Kernza and why should farmers consider growing it? What do we know about Kernza’s soil fertility needs? For organic producers, what nitrogen sources are suitable for production? What is Kernza’s potential to be used as a “dual-use crop”? Support for the Nutrient Management Podcast is provided by Minnesota's fertilizer tonnage fee through the Agricultural Fertilizer Research & Education Council (AFREC).
