Manure Injection in Alfalfa and Grass Experiences in New York
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.6 лет назад
Compared to surface application of manure, injection reduces the likelihood that manure nutrients will be lost to air and water resources. In some cropping situations, conserved manure nitrogen can offset the need for application of additional nitrogen later in the season, offering the potential for a win-win situation for farm profits and resource conservation. In this video, Dr. Quirine Kette...

    Seeing Mary Michael in this video made me SO happy!!! I had the honor of going through the Horticulture department at VT at the same time as her, and she is an INCREDIBLE woman! She is so insanely smart, beyond kind and compassionate, but the thing that always stuck out to me most was how hard working she was. Her work ethic is unmatched, which explains why she is where she is today and were she'll go. Mark my words Mary Michael is going to be someone with the places she's going, I'm always honored to call you a friend! Davis M
