Session Description: Manure could be used as nutrient source for crop production and to improve soil health properties âphysical, chemical, and biologicalâ. However, the ecological effects of manure applications in agricultural systems needs further studied. This session is intended to evaluate the impact of manure applications on soil health parameters such as soil aggregation, compaction, soil organic matter, nutrient dynamics, microbial population/activity, and crop yield. The presentations could also evaluate the impact of manure applications on weed growth and species dynamics.
