Project
Tradition methods for estimation soil organic carbon are expensive, time-consuming, and labour-intensive. This research looks to use drones and different optical sensors to remotely
Project
Using field and controlled-environment studies to investigate the relationships between cover crop species, soil test P levels, and P runoff losses from soils under
Project
Developing sensors, theories, and algorithms to be used to characterize and map soils for precision agriculture.
Project
Re-tuning carbon models with modern cropping cultivars, practices, and soil amendments.
Project
Nitrogen losses from manure come at an economic cost to farmers in the form of lost nutrients, and an environmental cost in the form
Project
Due to changes in deposition rates of sulfur from the atmosphere, there is an increasing need for sulfur with certain crops in Ontario. But
Project
Not all crops have the same demand for sulfur fertilization. This research is exploring response to sulfur fertilization in corn, soybean, and winter wheat
Project
Healthy soils provide essential ecosystem services (e.g. nutrient recycling, carbon sequestration, climate regulation, and water filtration) that sustain plants, animals, and humans. The growing
Project
Exploring novel ways to track the carbon chemistry of healthy soils.
