Project Background
The project merges traditional fertilizer management methods with a soil biological health approach to maximize soil quality and reduce the need for fertilizer application over time. The integrated approach is designed to mitigate the poor soil acidic conditions in the seed zone attributed to acidifying fertilizer accumulation in dire seed systems on cropland. Additional benefits include reduction in soil erosion and improvement in water quality. The Latah Soil and Water Conservation District will provide assistance in outreach to area farmers.
