Project
Integration and management of cover crops is challenging due to the immediate time and cost constraints while potential benefits may be long-term. Adjusting cover
Project
Soil compaction and surface crusting degrade soil structure, reducing aeration and root penetration, and ultimately impacting crop performance. With the trend towards larger farms,

Using the long-term rotation experiment near Elora, ON (established 1980) to study the impacts of tillage and diversity of crop rotations on a number
Project
Studying the impact of trees on carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
Project
Monitoring soil and water quality after land-use change to biomass crops.
Project
Previous research has led to industry recommendations for fertilizer nitrogen rates for Ontario sugarbeet growers that balance increase root yield and high sugar content.
Project
State-of-the-art experiment at Ridgetown comparing several different cover crop monocultures and mixtures to no cover crop in mixed vegetable-grain crop rotations.

Assessing legacy P that exists in riparian buffer strips and the impact of freeze-thaw and flooding/drought on the cycling and release of this P
Project
Not all soil organic matter is the same, and soil management practices may impact types of organic matter differently. This research looks to explore
