Brief Project Summary:

The goal of this project is to demonstrate that currently exiting conservation-tillage technology can be successfully used to partially incorporate poultry litter in reduced tillage grain production systems, preserving surface residue and soil conservation conditions, while reducing nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) losses compared to no-till production systems.
