  • Assessment of variability and monitoring methods for leaching under cover crop management

    Creator:
    Hess, Mario
    Abstract:
    The contamination of ground water resources represents a serious problem and a prominent threat to the health of our society. This study focuses on the leaching of inorganic anions as a function of agricultural practices under natural field conditions. In order to enhance the understanding of such leaching processes, this...

    Cao, Weidong
    Abstract:
    Groundwater contamination on irrigated land is of concern in this nation and around the world. In order to reduce the potential of groundwater contamination by agricultural practices such as irrigation, fertilizer and pesticide application, vadose-zone monitoring and sampling are needed. The main objective of this study was to evaluate impacts...

  • Peppermint irrigation and nitrogen management for the reduction of nitrate loading to groundwater

    Creator:
    Smesrud, Jason K.
    Abstract:
    The agricultural production of peppermint has been shown to contribute significant quantities of nitrate-nitrogen to groundwater recharge. In an effort to provide new tools for increasing nitrogen efficiency within peppermint production, three research questions were proposed: i) How should plant tissue samples be collected to achieve the greatest precision when...
