Research Project: Soil Response to Agricultural Intensification in the Western Corn Belt

Location: Agroecosystem Management Research

Project Number: 3042-21600-001-001-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: Aug 1, 2019
End Date: Jul 31, 2024

Objective:
To collect baseline soil biology data at research fields comparing current agronomic production practices to intensified management practices.

Approach:
Soil samples will be collected periodically from georeferenced sampling points and characterized for biological soil properties. Data will be entered into a database and used to compare soil response to management.
