Field Demonstrations of Best Management Practices to Protect Groundwater Quality, 1992: Mid-Nebraska Demonstration Project (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Understanding how Nebraska farms protect water quality through practical farming methods.
This book explains a regional effort to reduce nutrient and pesticide runoff by testing real-world farming practices. It focuses on the Mid-Nebraska Water Quality Demonstration Project, a collaborative effort that spans 15 counties and involves federal, state, and local agencies.
The project demonstrates practical approaches to manage nitrogen, irrigation, and pesticides. It shows how farmers and researchers work together to measure soil nitrogen, test irrigation water, and schedule water use. It also highlights how cover crops, crop rotations, and integrated pest management help protect groundwater while maintaining farm profitability.- How BMPs are chosen and demonstrated on actual farm fields.
- Steps for estimating soil nitrogen and balancing irrigation with crop needs.
- Real-life examples of nitrogen management, irrigation scheduling, and pest control.
- The role of local committees and shared science in guiding on-farm decisions.
