Please join us next week for...
Diverse Fertility Management: Cover Crops and Other Nutrient Sources
August 24 (Monday), 4-7PM
Learn about diverse fertility management by using and evaluating different
cover crops for nutrient management at this Organic Cropping Systems field
day.
Researchers will empower attendees to measure cover crop density and
predict the resulting nutrient content. The Organic Cropping Systems
project demonstrates the use of various warm- and cool-season cover crops
and the cumulative effect of different management styles in vegetable
production. Join us for hands-on learning and grower networking!
