Site Specific Nitrogen Management in an Intensified No-Till Dryland Cropping System

Traditional methods of applying nitrogen uniformly to crop fields are inefficient and can have significant environmental impacts through soil acidification, toxin accumulation, and ground and surface water contamination. The purpose of this project is to establish a regional demonstration project for electrical conductivity (EC) zone-based site-specific nitrogen management to improve productivity in an intensified no-till dryland cropping system while integrating economic and ecological aspects of nitrogen management.
