In this Ask Me Anything session, John Kempf answers a wide range of grower-submitted questions covering real-world challenges in regenerative agriculture. From managing fungal diseases and weed pressure to improving sap analysis interpretation and optimizing nutrient management, John shares insights rooted in AEA's agronomic philosophy. He also gives an in-depth look at FieldLark, the new AI-powered agronomy assistant, and how it can revolutionize on-farm decision-making.
Topics discussed:
Using soil nutrition to prevent downy mildew
Managing powdery mildew with foliar applications like Pinion
Uploading grower-specific data into FieldLark AI
How to interpret sap analysis trends and thresholds
Building insect resistance in raspberries with key trace elements
Addressing fungicide impacts on beneficial fungi
Using AI tools to manage black spot on roses
Elements needed for soil structure in heavy rain conditions
Mineral management to reduce aluminum and chloride in crops
Acidifying irrigation water and avoiding salt buildup in tunnels
Protecting urea with biology instead of stabilizers
Using molybdenum and boron to control root-knot nematodes
Ideal iodine and selenium levels in pastures and vineyards
Weed pressure caused by low surface pH and nutrient stratification
Prioritizing pH balance before applying bioprimed seed treatments
