Abstract

Soil acidity limits nutrient availability and promotes weed competition in wheat production. This study examines the effectiveness of liming in improving nutrient uptake and reducing weed pressure through field trials in Ashton and Soda Springs. The program utilizes on-farm demonstrations, soil analyses, and producer engagement to evaluate lime application rates and their agronomic benefits. Instructional methods include research presentations, workshops, and guided field visits for farmers, agronomists, and extension professionals. Preliminary results indicate improved soil pH, enhanced nutrient availability, and reduced weed competition. This presentation will discuss key findings, best practices, and practical recommendations for optimizing wheat production through liming.
