With the rise of the soil health movement, farmers and agricultural professionals are facing an influx of products claiming to revolutionize soil health. From “activators” and “boosters” to “revitalizers” and “stimulators,” the market is saturated with soil health products making bold promises. But how many of these claims are backed by independent research? And what should farmers rely on for real, measurable improvements in their soils?
Join us for a free, in-depth webinar, “How to Approach Soil Health Products,” on December 17th from 12-1 pm PST. Washington State University Extension Agronomist Andy McGuire will discuss the importance of being a discerning consumer of soil health products. Participants will learn how to evaluate product claims critically and when to choose proven, time-tested practices over unproven solutions.
In this webinar, attendees will:
- Learn to define their specific soil health problems clearly.
- Gain insights into evaluating soil health products and identifying marketing red flags.
- Remember the long-lasting benefits of established soil-building practices like cover cropping, composting, and no-till farming.
- Access reliable resources for further learning and practical soil health management.
With so many new products on the market, it’s crucial to know what works in the field and what is backed by research. The webinar will feature a Q&A session and real-world examples to guide participants in making more effective, evidence-based soil management choices.
Who should attend?
This webinar is ideal for farmers, technical service providers, researchers, extension professionals, and anyone interested in understanding soil health from a scientific, practical perspective.
