Project Background
This project seeks to demonstrate that nitrogen modeling programs can be used to quantify nitrogen contributions of soil health practices. This will enable farmers to account to these contributions in their nutrient management plans, allowing fo rreduces supplemental nitrogen application, reduced loss of nitrogen to surface and ground water, and reduced input costs.
