348 Symposium--Soil Health Management and Assessment

Oral Session
SSSA Division: Nutrient Management and Soil and Plant Analysis
Soil Health and Soil Quality are critical for assuring a vital living ecosystem for animals and plants along with food security for humans. A healthy soil is fundamental for sustainable nutrient and production systems. Effective management using scientific diagnostic tools is necessary to optimize the soil health/quality parameters for overall health. Various research ideas wil be presented at this Symposium.

Approved for SW 2.0 CEUs
