Total Acre: Corn Nutrient Cycling & Mycorrhizae

Location: Aurora, IA | Partner: Total Acre | Year: 2024

Overview Testing the limits of nitrogen reduction on high-yield corn ground.

Biological Breakthroughs

• Nitrogen Reduction: 50% cut in N.

• Soil Life: 700% increase in Mycorrhizae.

• Nutrient Availability: 45% more available phosphorus.

Key Takeaway The trial demonstrated that even with half the nitrogen, the soil and plants are more efficient and productive than a standard high-input program.
