Session Description: This session examines how incorporating alternative fertilizers (or a combination of inorganic and alternative fertilizers; e.g., humates, organic based products) into conventional agricultural systems can increase crop nutritional values, reduce inorganic fertilizer use, increase sustainability, and reduce nutrient losses.

Reviewer's Comments: We would like this session to be located next to the posters in "Best Management Success Stories" poster session, being held at the same time. (also sponsored by this community)
