Your Irrigation Water Sucks... Now What?

In this episode, the team sits down with Jason Birkenfeld from Soil Mender to break down irrigation water quality, nutrient antagonism, rapid soil testing, and how acid-based fertility programs can change nutrient availability in the soil. From phosphorus tie-up to sodium issues under pivots, this conversation dives into practical ways growers can better understand what their irrigation water is really doing to their crop. Topics covered: • Why irrigation water can create hidden nutrient tie-up • How rapid soil testing changes the way growers diagnose problems • Sodium, bicarbonates, and phosphorus availability • Acid-based fertilizers and “protected nutrition” • Why some irrigated acres underperform dry corners • How to evaluate water treatment economically • Practical strategies for fertigation and irrigation management Watch the full episode and learn more: calibratedagronomy.com Follow Calibrated Agronomy: Instagram:   / calibratedagronomy   Facebook:   / calibratedagronomy   LinkedIn:   / calibrated-agronomy   YouTube:    / @calibratedagronomy   Learn more about Soil Mender: http://soilmender.com Follow Soil Mender: Facebook:   / soilmenderag
