The document discusses balancing soil nutrients to improve soil fertility and resilience to weather extremes. It finds soil nutrient levels can vary significantly based on soil type, texture, structure, and weather conditions. Applying the right source, rate, time, place, and ratio of nutrients based on soil tests can help equalize soil nutrients and improve crop yields and economic returns while enhancing soil resilience. Variable rate technology may help adjust nutrient inputs to account for spatial variability in soil properties. Maintaining balanced and adequate soil nutrients through fertility programs can improve a soil's ability to withstand drought and other weather stresses.
