Farming Phosphorus

In this episode, host Scott Beaton talks with Saskatchewan-based farmer Ian about how he manages phosphorus on his farm and the lessons learned from test plots conducted with Dr. Martin Entz at the University of Manitoba. They explore why phosphorus remains a limiting nutrient, what on-farm research is revealing, and how recycled, slow-release struvite could offer a new path for sustainable phosphorus inputs. This conversation blends practical farm experience with emerging research to highlight real solutions for phosphorus-deficient soils.
