Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement

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

Objective:
To establish an intensified cropping system and a corn-soybean system under irrigated and rainfed conditions. Collect and report carbon and water flux and crop yield annually.

Approach:
An intensified cropping system designed to improve input use efficiency will be established to compare crop yield, environmental impact, and economic outcomes with traditional corn – soybean rotations.
