Project Background
This project will assist targeted farmers in implementing efficient nitrogen (N) and irrigation management practices, but not sufficiently adopted by farmers. These practices will mitigate groundwater nitrate contamination, support compliance with water quality regulations, and maintain crop yields in California's Central Valley. This project will target farmers at risk of non-compliance using farmer-reported nitrogen (N) use data.
