UF IFAS NFREC - Suwannee Valley

Thursday night was one for the books! We were so honored to be the host for the 25th Suwannee CARES!!

A not so long time ago, in a field not very far away...

This May the Fourth we are celebrating the 4Rs of Nutrient Stewardship, and our 4R On-Farm Demonstration project is officially back in the field!

This year we’re visiting three farms to demonstrate the 4Rs principals using our Miller Highboy sprayer and y-drops. With this equipment we are able to use apply the 4Rs by:
🌽 Right Source - Matching fertilizer to crop need
🌽 Right Rate - Applying only what the plant can use
🌽 Right Time - Making nutrients available when the crop needs it
🌽 Right Place - Placing nutrients at the root zone for optimal uptake

A huge thank you to our partners at Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Office of Ag Water Policy and the Suwannee River Water Management District for their ongoing support.

May the fourth and 4Rs be with you!!
