Research Project: Re-Integrating Crop and Livestock Enterprises in Three Northern States

Location: New England Plant, Soil and Water Research Laboratory

Project Number: 1915-12000-001-01
Project Type: Reimbursable

Start Date: Sep 15, 2001
End Date: Sep 30, 2005

Objective:
Compare nutrient dynamics in manure-amended and unamended potato rotations of varying length.

Approach:
A directed graduate student research project will be conducted to evaluate nitrogen (N) cycling in manure-amended and unamended potato rotations. This research, using 15-N pool dilution methods, will compare N transformation rates using soil resources from the long-term Potato Ecosystem experiment in Presque Isle, Maine. FUNDED IFAFS GRANT (subcontract to ARS)---University of Maine will be provinding the funds to ARS.
