Soil Testing to Manage Nitrates on Delaware farms

The video tutorial explains the process and importance of conducting a Pre-Side Dress Nitrate Test (PSNT) in agricultural fields, particularly those with manure application. It covers the steps for collecting soil samples, the lab analysis of nitrate and ammonia levels, and the benefits of accurate nitrogen application for both farmers and the environment. The tutorial also highlights the environmental risks of nitrate leaching into water bodies, leading to issues like algae blooms.
