Latest Lessons From The Land Webinar Feb. 21 On Managing Phosphorus
|
|
Penn State Extension and the Conewago Watershed Initiative will host a webcast on February 21 from noon to 1:00 p.m. on Measuring and Managing Phosphorus In Wet Pennsylvania Landscapes, part of the Lessons From The Land series.
Dr. Tony Buda, USDA ARS, and Dr. Patrick Drohan, Penn State Department of Crop and Soil Science, will present research conducted by PA USDA NRCS, USDA-ARS, and Penn State to look at how saturated soils and soils with fragipans have contributed to higher runoff.
Matt Royer, Director of the Lower Susquehanna Initiative, Penn State AG & Environment Center, will moderate.
These wet landscapes are often critical sources of phosphorus that contribute to loads of pollutants in streams—and should be targeted for conservation practices.
A pilot study undertaken within the Conewago Watershed serves as a proving ground for the development of “next generation nutrient management practices” necessary to reduce the loads of phosphorus emanating from agricultural lands that contribute to the degradation of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.
One Nutrient Management credit is available for eligible participants from the state Department of Agriculture. Those seeking credits will be required to sign-in during the webinar to verify their attendance.
The program can be viewed online as a recording after the live broadcast. Continuing ed credits are not available for the recorded session.
To join this webinar you will need a high speed Internet and can sign in on this webpage at the webinar's noon start time. This program will be broadcasting live from the Conewago Initiative’s Project Advisory Team meeting at Penn State’s Harrisburg campus.
