Webinars Discuss Research Results and Recommendations for Conservation Management Transition
Two webinars examined early soil health results and transition challenges for cover crops and no-till, with Andrew Margenot and John Pike sharing research and recommendations.
Cover Crops and Soil Health for Better Crop Fertility Decisions
University research and field experience come together to examine how cover crop choices influence nitrogen availability, fertilizer needs, and soil function.
Soil Health Sounds Great—But Is It Paying Yet?
Watch the full recording and hear presenters break down two years of replicated trial results from across Illinois—revealing how today’s conservation practices are truly performing in the field.
Is Your Soil Breathing? What CO2 Can Tell Us About Soil Health
Early data from multi-year trials suggests that soil respiration may respond more to timing, region, and crop rotation than to tillage or cover crops.
Preliminary Results Show Water Quality Gains Outpacing Soil Health Changes
Early findings suggest farmers may see quicker returns on water quality than on soil health when adopting conservation practices.
Soybean Sustainability Metrics: Preliminary Results from Illinois Field Trials
Dr. Andrew Margenot shares preliminary findings on soil health, water quality, and climate impact from two seasons of Illinois field trials.
