Participate to learn about research aimed at methods to improve soil health by minimizing tillage in organic vegetable systems.
The presenter will describe current research at Washington State University that is exploring methods to address a significant soil health challenge in vegetable production - tillage. The discussion of methods to reduce tillage in organic specialty crop systems will include cover strip tillage, the use of a roller crimper, and the role of cover crops. Research findings compare the impacts of different techniques in terms of compaction, water infiltration, soil respiration, and other factors.
In the Understanding Organic Agriculture series, this webinar is presented by USDA NRCS Science and Technology.
