New Videos from IPNI Feature 4R Nutrient Stewardship


New Videos from IPNI Feature 4R Nutrient Stewardship

Two new video programs produced by the International Plant Nutrition Institute (IPNI) and introduced in 2010 are carrying the message of 4R nutrient stewardship to audiences around the world. "The Right Way to Grow...4R Nutrient Stewardship" runs more than 11 minutes and gives an overview of the 4Rs: applying the right fertilizer source at the right rate, at the right time, and in the right place. It explains how the 4Rs can make sense for large-scale agriculture in developed countries and also to small-holder farms in less developed countries. "The Right Way to Grow Wheat...4R Nutrient Stewardship" is a separate video which runs more than 8 minutes and specifically addresses the economic, environmental, and social goals of sustainable agricultural systems needed to meet global demand for wheat.

The videos can be viewed for free by visiting the IPNI website at: http://www.ipni.net/video

Both programs are also available on DVD and can be purchased from IPNI at US$10.00 each, plus shipping.
