Location: Soil Management and Sugarbeet Research
Project Number: 3012-12210-001-036-N
Project Type: Non-Funded Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Aug 30, 2025
End Date: Jul 30, 2029
Objective:
Maintain a database that provides a clearing house for soil fertility data that is populated with legacy and current data for soil-test correlation and calibration studies for major field crops grown in North America. The database should be:
Accessible and queriable through the decision-support tool.
Easy to use so that new data can be readily uploaded.
Maintain a searchable, decision support tool that:
Provides soil test correlation and calibration analysis output (graphs and statistical confidence intervals) based on queryable terms such as crop, multiple crops, soil-test method, soil sample depth, soil series, etc.
Provides data for nutrient management researchers and modelers that allow for in-depth analysis of soil test calibration and correlation data.
Approach:
Working across the United States, ingest soil fertilizer trial data and coordinate US land grant institutions to keep FRST up to date.
