Finding the commonalities among successful soil health innovators and demonstrating practices for increased adoption

 The southern Great Plains is a challenging land to produce a crop. The implementation of adapted soil health management systems will lead to the optimization of productivity, maximization of input efficiencies, and reduction of the negative impacts on the environment. All of which will lead to a long term sustainable system. This project will help define how soil health is measured and introduce value added components of an adapted soil health management system such as weed control and improved nitrogen management strategies. Demonstrating the vast impacts of an applied soil health management system will lead to an increased adoption and implementation of the strategies.
