Effects of Long-Term Manure Applications on Soil in the Irrigated Northwest

An eight-year study of manure in crop rotations that include root crops (sugar beets and potatoes) is taking a very comprehensive look at manure use. Researchers are studying everything from yields, soil health, characteristics of the harvested crop, nutrient leaching, and much more. Join us for a look at the results to date and what is being learned about repeated manure application in relation to the value of food crops and environmental impacts.

An application for continuing education credit for Certified Crop Advisors (CCAs) and members of the American Registry of Professional Animal Scientists (ARPAS) will be submitted.

Presenters for this webinar include:
  • April Leytem, USDA-ARS, Kimberly, Idaho
  • Amber Moore, Oregon State University
  • Joe Harrison, Washington State University
Handouts (PDF format) will be available the day of the webinar at the live webcast information page.
