Abstract
This course examines agricultural nutrient use efficiencies under various farm systems, including agricultural nutrient conservation activities such as understanding all 17 crop-essential nutrient cycles, water cycle, green manures, soil health, animal manures and waste water, soil Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) and pH effects on plant nutrients, and management practices to effect nutrient loss reduction and soil retention strategies. Focus is on long term agricultural watershed health based on best current evidence through utilization of open-source informatics, teamwork, and collaboration within a given agricultural watershed boundary.
