Soil Chemistry and Fertility
Our goal is to develop a nationally recognized Soil Chemistry and Fertility Program driven by innovative research and competitive graduate training. This program focuses on advancing practical soil fertilization and management strategies that enhance soil quality, optimize nutrient use efficiency, and support the long-term sustainability of farming operations. A key component of this initiative is the rigorous training of graduate students, fostering the next generation of leaders in soil science and agronomic research.
