Nutrient Management and Water Quality

UD and SAS are demonstrating and monitoring the best management practices required to produce agronomic crops (e.g. corn, wheat, soybeans) profitably and in a manner that protects and improves soil and water quality. Nutrient and soil management practices are being investigated for the turf grass on athletic fields. The farmers at St. Andrew’s are cooperating in the project.
