Project Description
- Currently, there is a growing concern over groundwater contamination resulting from crop production practices. The need exists for crop management systems that will reduce such negative effects of agriculture on the environment. This study will investigate the influence of seed-down time to alfalfa on the distribution of nutrients in the sol profile in Manitoba soils.
