| Nitrogen fertilizer |
|
|
|
 |
Research in this
area focuses on the development and improvement of site-specific and
time-specific application of nitrogen fertilizer and manure.
Research efforts involve
|
|
| Spatial variability |
|
|
|
 |
In-field variability in New York's glaciated soils can pose a
management challenge for producers. Using yield monitors and
grid soil sampling Cornell research examined the relationship
between both soil chemical and physical properties and crop yield.

|
| Soil and Water Quality |
|
|
|
 |
Soil health and soil quality are critical elements
of any productive agricultural system. This research seeks to provide
tools for qualitative and quantitative measurement of soil health
parameters.
|
|
| Infiltrometer |
|
|
|
 |
The Cornell Sprinkle Infiltrometer is a tool
developed for the measurement of soil infiltribility in the field.
|
|
| |
|
|
| Crop Management |
|
|
|
|
Research on crop
rotations, tillage systems, hybrid selection and more.
|
|
| Frost Tillage |
|
|
|
 |
Primary tillage is generally undertaken in the spring or fall.
Our research into winter tillage provides farmers with a viable
tillage option during a season when time demands are low with the
added benefit of low soil compaction potential.
|
|
| Landslide Modeling |
|
|
|
 |
Research on landslide prediction and modeling was undertaken after
hurricane Mitch devastated Honduras and parts of Central America.
