Not all soil organic matter is the same, and soil management practices may impact types of organic matter differently. This research looks to explore how tillage and crop rotations impact…
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 estimate soil organic carbon quickly and…
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 freeze-thaw conditions.
Developing sensors, theories, and algorithms to be used to characterize and map soils for precision agriculture.
Re-tuning carbon models with modern cropping cultivars, practices, and soil amendments.
Nitrogen losses from manure come at an economic cost to farmers in the form of lost nutrients, and an environmental cost in the form of nitrate leaching into surface waters.…
Due to changes in deposition rates of sulfur from the atmosphere, there is an increasing need for sulfur with certain crops in Ontario. But in order to recommend sulfur fertilization…
Not all crops have the same demand for sulfur fertilization. This research is exploring response to sulfur fertilization in corn, soybean, and winter wheat crops in Ontario.
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 trend towards simplifying systems in Ontario…
Exploring novel ways to track the carbon chemistry of healthy soils.
