speaker_5NARRATOR
It is to the oxygen that the air owes its property of supporting life and of sustaining the burning of combustible bodies when inflamed.
speaker_5NARRATOR
Azote, or nitrogen, which enters into the composition of the air in the proportion of seventy-nine parts in a hundred, is unfit for respiration and incapable of supporting combustion.
speaker_5NARRATOR
It seems to serve only to dilute the oxygen and thus mitigate the otherwise too irritating action of this gas.
speaker_5NARRATOR
By being breathed, the air changes its nature.

Larry WilsonNARRATOR
Axillary.
Larry WilsonNARRATOR
From the Latin axilla, the armpit, belonging or relating to the armpit.
Larry WilsonNARRATOR
Azote.
Larry WilsonNARRATOR
From the Greek a, privative, and zoe, life, without life.
Scotty RealHOST
There's tons of clues on there.
Scotty RealHOST
Nitrogen's light color.
Scotty RealHOST
You can't make chlorophyll.
Scotty RealHOST
Like I said, some of it looks pretty similar.
John KempfGUEST
Um, but what...
John KempfGUEST
Uh, w-we've arrived at a, a very different way of thinking about nitrogen management than we ever expected to.
John KempfGUEST
And the history kind of my own personal context and story in how this entire conversation came to be, um, I, I grew up on a family fruit and vegetable farm in Northeast Ohio.
John KempfGUEST
We almost lost the farm due to severe disease and insect pressure that we were not successful managing with, uh, with fungicides and insecticides, and partially because of our environment.
John KempfGUEST
We're here in the rain belt, snow belt south of Lake Erie, so we had a very high humidity environment to deal with.
5 MINS LATER
John KempfGUEST
Uh, some of those nutri- some of those various forms of nitrogen will produce a completely different opposite effect to each other within the plant.
John KempfGUEST
And so that was, that was one realization that we actually...
John KempfGUEST
if we really want to dig into what's happening with plant physiology and what's happening with agronomy, then we can't just have conversations about nitrogen N because that's not the way plants work.
Damon ThayerGUEST
a great exercise.
Damon ThayerGUEST
So our first one is going to be named after last year's champion three-year-old filly, Nitrogen, owned by my good friend Jonathan Green and his family, DJ Stable, trained by Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame member and American Horse Racing Hall of Fame member Mark Cassie.
Damon ThayerGUEST
Nitrogen is a very good filly.
Damon ThayerGUEST
Champion last year.
Damon ThayerGUEST
She just finished second running against the boys in the Whitney at Saratoga.
Ray RussellHOST
Quinn certainly recognized Carpentier as his world champion.
Ray RussellHOST
Paul Bowser in Boston, Dusik in Omaha.
Ray RussellHOST
So we did have some world title defenses by Carpentier, which is really weird because, again, Luthez is technically the champion.
Ray RussellHOST
So it's a very confusing time period in the NWA, depending on what territory you were a fan or a promoter, for that matter.
Pippa JonesHOST
I'm your host Pippa Jones and in this episode I'm chatting with Hugh McKinnon from Mountford Berries and Professor PJ Cullen, Chief Scientific Officer from Plasma Leap Technologies.
Pippa JonesHOST
Hugh and PJ's conversation highlights how the production of green nitrogen fertiliser could support horticulture's decarbonisation journey whilst also giving farmers greater confidence in the supply of fertiliser.
Pippa JonesHOST
By producing fertiliser closer to where it's needed, emerging technologies like PlasmaLeap could reduce emissions from manufacturing and transport whilst helping growers manage costs and supply risks.
Pippa JonesHOST
It's a hopeful example of innovation working together with farmers to build more resilient, sustainable and lower carbon food systems.
Pippa JonesHOST
Before we start the interview, here's a brief explanation of the technology.
Pippa JonesHOST
Plasma Leap steps in to replace traditional ammonia production, which has a high carbon footprint.
Pippa JonesHOST
The technology uses green electricity to create a lightning-like plasma that activates nitrogen molecules, which are mixed with air and hydrogen from water, allowing them to combine into ammonia.
Pippa JonesHOST
This is achieved at ambient temperature and pressure without fossil fuels, without large industrial plants and with dramatically lower emissions.
Ray RussellHOST
Quinn certainly recognized Carpentier as his world champion.

Sheila StoreyGUEST
Okay.
Sheila StoreyGUEST
So n- nematode is a microscopically small worm, snake-like in its appearance.
Sheila StoreyGUEST
Then the resistance falls out of the bus, if I could put it that way.
Louise BrodieHOST
Mm.
Sheila StoreyGUEST
Um, yes, so at NemLab we test for different kinds of nematodes on each crop.
Sheila StoreyGUEST
We use different extraction techniques depending on what we expect.
Sheila StoreyGUEST
Um, we use a centrifuge for the...
Sheila StoreyGUEST
It's not as easy as people think it is.
Jeff VetschGUEST
Potash is about the same, and urea is down about $160 from the May high, but still $140 greater than last year at this time.
Brad CarlsonGUEST
A- and I looked at, uh, some stuff I think Russ Quinn put out and, and, uh, the, the one thing that I find a little, a little strange is that, uh, actually the UAN 32% is cheaper on a per pound nitrogen basis than urea is, uh, which is really odd.
Brad CarlsonGUEST
Uh, the urea prices, because of the amount of that that's coming out of the Middle East and some of the issues in the Middle East, uh, urea price has really been on kind of a roller coaster.
Brad CarlsonGUEST
Um, if you look at the wholesale price of anhydrous, it's at, uh, roughly 60 cents a pound.
Brad CarlsonGUEST
Uh, certainly high, but, uh, we kinda dealt with 60 cent nitrogen this spring, and so I guess it's not, uh, not that unusual.
Brad CarlsonGUEST
As far as whether or, or at what price point, uh, the local retailers are gonna come into, I'm not exactly sure.
Brad CarlsonGUEST
Um, those decisions usually get made at kind of a higher level with the retailers, and so the, the retail agronomists, uh, uh, simply are kind of told what they're going to be and, uh, so a lot of the folks I have contact with, uh, don't have those prices yet.
Daniel KaiserGUEST
And I mean, really right now, I mean, the only thing we really should be focused mostly on is anhydrous.
Paul CareyHOST
A great play by Smalley, taking a base hit away from Stanley, backhanding the ball deep in the hole, and he got something on the throw.
Paul CareyHOST
It was one skip to first, but Dusik did the job at first and pulled it out of the dirt.
Paul CareyHOST
Well, there's one down in the fourth inning.
Paul CareyHOST
Looked like that was headed to left field.
