Phosphorus and Algal Blooms (Part 1 of 4)
This week we are joined by Dr. Lindsey Pease, an assistant professor and extension specialist in nutrient and water management at the Northwest research and outreach center for the University of Minnesota, and Dr. Chad Penn, a soil scientist for the USDA Agricultural Research Service and an adjunct professor at Purdue University.
Managing Water with Soil Health
If we are seeing so many benefits to drainage and soil health systems, why isn’t everybody doing it? Can we see a win-win-win situation when looking at habitat, agronomy, and water quality in a system?
Constructed Wetlands: Engineering Nature’s Filter
How do constructed wetlands emulate the natural process of a wetland? In what ways do the different designs of a constructed wetland have to meet the needs of the area?
Subirrigation
Why is it important to know what the system needs before installing subirrigation?
Subsurface Drip Irrigation: Increased Efficiency for Irrigation and Nutrient Delivery
Subsurface drip irrigation maintenance, lifespan, and cost, the variables that can impact subsurface drip irrigation design.
Subsurface Drip Irrigation: Worth the Investment?
What is subsurface drip irrigation, and how does it differ from subirrigation?
Balancing Controlled Drainage
Will controlled drainage help maintain a healthy nutrient cycle with extreme weather changes and improve yield and water quality?
Controlled Drainage Logistics
How is controlled drainage a beneficial conservation practice in maintaining the water in your fields?
Saturated Buffer Performance, Challenges and a Path Forward
What are the challenges of a saturated buffer and can they work in other states?
Saturated Buffer Situations
What is a saturated buffer and how can they be beneficial to farmers?
