Session Description: Information is needed on the ecological effects of manure applications in agricultural production systems. This session will focus on the measurable effects of manure applications on soil health parameters such as soil physical properties, soil organic matter content, microbial populations and nutrient dynamics, and crop yield. In addition, presentations will address the impact of manure applications on weed growth and species dynamics.
