Soil fertility / crop production / ammonia volatilization / biomass
Research
Extension Research: Soil fertility/crop production, potatoes, onions, alfalfa, cereals. I offer expertise on a wide range of topics to the general public, growers and fieldmen in the area. I also represent agriculture's interests on committees. I am responsible for providing educational pesticide and CCA licensing opportunities for local growers and fieldmen. My primary concerns are profitability and environmental sustainability of local cropping systems.
