Sep. 14 presentation features Iowa State University Extension and Outreach field agricultural engineer, Brian Dougherty discussing manure application practices<\/b><\/p>\n
Ames, Iowa<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 The\u00a0Iowa Learning Farms<\/a>\u00a0(ILF)\u00a0conservation webinar taking place Sep. 14 at noon CDT will feature\u00a0Brian Dougherty, field agricultural engineer, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach<\/a>. Dougherty\u2019s research and outreach focuses on the effects of cropping systems and management practices on soil health and water quality.<\/p>\n Iowa Learning Farms is an Iowa State University Extension and Outreach conservation and water quality education program.<\/p>\n In the webinar, \u201cImproving Manure Management to Maximize Agronomic and Environmental Outcomes,\u201d Dougherty will discuss the results from a 5-year study that assessed the effect of manure application timing, fall cereal rye cover crops and utilization of nitrification inhibitors on water quality and crop yields. He will also explore some best management practices in relation to maximizing the value of manure nutrients while minimizing environmental losses.<\/p>\n \u201cAs we approach harvest season for most row crops, planning for fall cover crop establishment and fall or winter manure application should be underway now,\u201d said Dougherty. \u201cThis is the time to review the latest research on application timing, use of nitrification inhibitors and practices that will keep nutrients in the fields where they deliver the most value. I am hopeful that participants in this webinar will gain in their appreciation for the impacts management decisions regarding manure application timing will have on agronomic and environmental outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n Participants in Iowa Learning Farms Conservation Webinars are encouraged to ask questions of the presenters. People from all backgrounds and areas of interest are encouraged to join.<\/p>\n \n Webinar Access Instructions<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n To participate in the live webinar, shortly before noon CDT Sep. 14:<\/p>\n Click this URL, or type this web address into your internet browser:\u00a0https:\/\/iastate.zoom.us\/j\/364284172<\/a><\/p>\n
