The University of Nebraska was awarded a $300,000 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) federal grant program. The three-year grant will fund research and extension activities to evaluate the impact of interseeded cover crops on nitrogen dynamics and cycling in corn and soybean cropping systems in Nebraska. Specifically, the university will investigate how cover crops...
This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) (CFDA 10.310) totaling $749,045 is designed to comprehensively assess the long-term (10-15 year) impacts of early- and late-terminated cover crops on soil organic carbon pools and soil health indicators within the soil profile to at least 1 meter depth. The project will leverage two existing 10-year experiments in...
The University of Nebraska will receive $749,861 under a four-year Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture to study nitrogen movement and transformations in the vadose zone beneath agricultural lands.
