Soil health tests are a big conversation topic these days, but there’s a lot of conflicting information out there. Presented by Stacy Zuber, Ph.D., State Soil Health Specialist with USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, this webinar discusses how soil health tests differ from measuring soil fertility, sampling and handling procedures and how to interpret your results.

WEBINAR: Nitrogen Management Systems in Tile Drained Fields: Optimizing Yields and Minimizing Losses
August 21, 2018
Lowell Gentry will demonstrate annual nutrient losses from tile drained agricultural watersheds in east central Illinois and will focus on a replicated tile drainage study under a corn/soybean rotation. Our research group monitors 36 tile lines on one farm which accommodates 6 nitrogen treatments with 3 replicates and both crops. Treatments range from fall nitrogen application to split applications (spring and side-dress) with a cover crop. The major objective of the study is to evaluate the yield response and the tile nitrate losses associated with each of the N management systems. Additionally, this study will determine when and how tile nitrate losses occur in these systems, under both corn and soybean production.
