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...

Methods for Leaching Under Cover Crop Management by Mario Hess A THESIS submitted to Oregon
An eleven year study of nitrate leaching in vegetable production with winter cover crops

Creator:

Feaga, Jeff

Abstract:

The Willamette Valley of Oregon has high rates of winter precipitation that cause leaching losses of residual fertilizer nitrogen (N) as nitrate (NO₃). Cover crops may have potential to mitigate N loss. Shallow groundwater was sampled for 11 years from plots planted in summer vegetables with and without winter cover...
