Objectives
-
1. Investigate N availability and microbial N transformations from a variety of N sources (e.g., enhanced efficiency fertilizers, conventional fertilizers, animal manures, green manures) in a range of environmental conditions and management scenarios.
-
2. Develop and evaluate precision agriculture technologies, remote-sensing, data-driven tools, and models to improve N fertilizer management.
-
3. Translate field and laboratory research into actionable N management tools and educational resources to enhance profitability and sustainability in corn-based cropping systems
