1. The Effect of Agricultural Management Practices on Labile Soil Carbon and Nitrogen in WisconsinAmid ever-increasing enthusiasm for soil health there remains uncertainty about how best to measure it, to interpret the results, and to adapt agricultural management accordingly. One factor of particular interest to farmers is the capacity of a soil to mineralize organic matter, making nutrients available to crops. This research takes a survey-based approach to identify how labile carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) – as permanganate oxidizable carbon (POxC), potentially mineralizable carbon (PMC)... G. Richardson, M.

2. Predicting Nitrogen Response by Winter Wheat Using Soil Health and Soil Microbiome IndicatorsEfficient nitrogen (N) management is critical for improving profitability and sustainability in winter wheat production systems of western South Dakota, where soils and growing conditions vary widely. Current fertilizer recommendations rely heavily on soil nitrate-N, often overlooking contributions from organic N sources and soil biological activity. This project aims to refine N fertilizer recommendations by integrating soil health indices (SHIs) and soil microbiome analysis as predictors of... C. Graham, R. Jain |
