WERA-103: Nutrient Management and Water Quality

The "Nutrient Management and Water Quality (WERA-103)" project team is composed of representatives from land-grant universities, public agencies, and private industry. The WERA-103 group seeks to protect water quality by i) improving nutrient management recommendations based on soil, water and plant analysis results and other management strategies, and by ii) coordinating Western Region education and research efforts.

The purpose of a WERA (Western Education/Extension and Research Activities) is to bring researchers together to coordinate related research without the need for a formal multistate research plan, to organize technical conferences, work groups, task forces, or symposia for exchange of experience and opinions.

The Western Nutrient Management Conference, held every two years since 1995, is planned and conducted by the WERA-103 Committee with with support from USDA's Cooperative States Research and Extension Service (CSREES) and from the International Plant Nutrition Institute (IPNI)".
