The Iowa Learning Farms (ILF) conservation webinar taking place Feb. 22 at noon CST will feature Greg LaBarge, field specialist, agronomic systems department, The Ohio State University. LaBarge conducts research and outreach on nutrient management and water quality issues through The Ohio State University Extension. His work focuses on the application of 4R (Right Source, Right Time, Right Rate, Right Place) management of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) in row crops, and conservation practices which help limit downstream impacts of nutrients leaving farm fields.<\/em><\/p>\n Iowa Learning Farms is an Iowa State University Extension and Outreach conservation and water quality education program.<\/p>\n In the webinar, \u201cQuantifying and Managing Residual Soil N after Corn,\u201d LaBarge will highlight research conducted to help measure residual nitrogen in soil after harvest and discuss management techniques such as cover crops which have proven to limit transport of nutrients to waterways. He will also discuss edge of field losses and additional conservation practices that mitigate nutrient losses.<\/p>\n \u201cHaving sufficient nitrogen (N) is critical to supporting maximized crop yields, but our studies are showing a significant amount of residual N in the soil after harvest,\u201d said LaBarge. \u201cResearch has shown that the use of cover crops after corn is an effective way to capture residual N as organic matter and improve soils. Identifying and encouraging the deployment of additional practices which keep that N in the field is important to achieving both long-term economic and environmental goals.\u201d<\/p>\n Participants are encouraged to ask questions of the presenters. People from all backgrounds and areas of interest are encouraged to join.<\/p>\n Webinar Access Instructions<\/u><\/p>\n To participate in the live webinar, shortly before noon CST Feb. 22:<\/p>\n Click this URL, or type this web address into your internet browser: https:\/\/iastate.zoom.us\/j\/364284172<\/p>\n Or, go to https:\/\/iastate.zoom.us\/join and enter meeting ID: 364 284 172<\/p>\n Or, join from a dial-in phone line:<\/p>\n Dial: +1 312 626 6799 or +1 646 876 9923<\/p>\n Meeting ID: 364 284 172<\/p>\n The webinar will also be recorded and archived.
