1. Predicting Crop Yield Losses Due to Soil-water Salinity: Comparison of Traditional and Alternative Approaches It is estimated that 2,000 ha of cropland are taken out of production daily worldwide due to salinization and sodification. Salinity is estimated to result in economic losses of $27.3 billion U.S. dollars annually. Our project aims to jointly develop techniques for quantifying the severity of soil-water salinity and impacts on crop production on surface-irrigated fields in Pakistan’s Indus River Valley and the Lower Arkansas River Valley (LARV) in Colorado. The Fairmont Drainage District... A. Brown, A. Andales, T. Gates Download paper
2. Conservation Management and Nitrogen Fertilization to Enhance Soil Chemical and Biological Properties Cover crops and no-tillage are increasing in use across Texas. On the Southern High Plains (SHP) these practices are important mitigators of wind erosion and are suggested to increase soil health and other positive soil attributes. This study aimed to monitor and evaluate the soil chemical and biological changes that occur shortly after implementing conservation practices and nitrogen management strategies on the SHP. It was determined that in the short term some soil chemical and biological... M. Mcdonald, P. Delaune, T. Gentry, K. Lewis Download paper
3. Soil Health Comparison in Organic and Conventional Cotton-Peanut Rotations in the Texas Plains Region Organic farming has been increasingly adopted in the Texas High Plains (THP), but restrictions on synthetic fertilizer use may be problematic if a system cannot mineralize sufficient nutrients from organic matter breakdown to meet crop needs. Cover crops are a tool utilized by both organic and conventional producers for nutrient management, weed control and soil conservation. A one-year study was conducted in organic peanuts in Lubbock and Vernon, TX, to assess the ability of cover crops... N. Boogades, K. Lewis, T. Gentry, P. Delaune, L.M. Ellman-stortz Download paper
