Project Background
By demonstrating and verifying the environmental effectiveness of ADPlusLLX, quasar can encourage adoption of an innovative nutrient management solution and replicate this activity across the region to significantly impact the watershed by; reducing downstream nutrient loads while maintaining agricultural productivity, and enhancing wildlife and ecosystem services.As with any innovative technology, a key challenge to adoption involves building credibility and reducing risk in order to gain market acceptance of the technology. The primary purpose and goal of the proposed project is to demonstrate and verify the environmental effectiveness, utility, affordability and usability of LLX in the field to promote technology transfer across the watershed and nationally.
