Conf. Rooms 1-4 (Marriott Rivercenter Hotel)
Soil Management & Plant Nutrition Conference - Session 1
The focus of this oral session is on interactions among plant and soil variables that affect crop performance and profitability of production. Presentations from recent and on-going research will address broad topics related to all aspects of crop production including rotations, Nitrogen nutrition, beneficial use of wastes (manures and biosolids), tillage methods, and precision agriculture. Information presented will be of interest to producers, agricultural consultants and associated industry, all of whom will find useful up-to-date information to assist in making economic production decisions on next year’s crop.
