Agroecosystem Management Research : People & Places

Degrees:

B.S. Southern Colorado State College, 1972
M.S. University of Minnesota, 1974
Ph.D. Colorado State University, 1982

Research Interests:
Manure Management.

Major Project Activities:
I am identifying cropping and management practices for utilizing manure as a valuable nutrient source and soil amendment without causing adverse environmental impacts. Laboratory and field studies are being conducted to identify land application procedures that reduce nutrient transport by runoff and minimize air quality concerns.
