Location: Northwest Sustainable Agroecosystems Research
Project Number: 2090-11000-010-023-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Feb 1, 2024
End Date: Jan 31, 2028
Objective:
To strengthen and enhance ongoing research for the Cook Agronomy Farm Long-Term Agroecosystem Research (LTAR) with emphasis on long-term assessment of soil health, cropping systems modeling, stakeholder survey development, nutrient cycling, crop performance, water quality and greenhouse gas emissions.
Approach:
Field, laboratory and cropping systems modeling research on climate change and management impacts on soil health issues including C, N, P cycling and flows, soil acidification, greenhouse gas fluxes, crop performance including nutrient use efficiency metrics and soil chemical balances associated with inputs and losses via crop, water, soil and air. Stakeholder survey development consistent with national LTAR approach.
