Sometimes
figuring
out
which
conservation
practices
are
most
effective
at
reducing
agricultural
phosphorus
losses
to
surface
water
bodies
seems
impossibly
complex,
and
it
is
hard
to
know
which
solutions
will
work
best
where.
Water
Institute
member,
professor Merrin
Macrae,
is
offering
two
upcoming
pubic
presentations that synthesize research
from
over
a
decade
of
on-farm,
edge-of-field
trials
within
the
Lake
Erie
watershed
to
highlight
how
the
efficiencies
and
trade-offs
of
different
practices
vary
by
region
and
site.
Drawing on a recently published article entitled "One Size Does Not Fit All: Towards Regional Conservation Practice Guidance to Reduce Phosphorus Loss Risk in the Lake Erie Watershed," lead author professor, Merrin Macrae, will describe how conservation strategies can be optimized at a regional scale.
Please join us to learn more about this latest research. Attendees will be able to choose between two sessions depending on whether they are interested in best practices for clay soils (November 29) or best practices for undulating sloping loams (November 30).
Registration (pick one):
