About this workshop:
In this four-part series, participants will learn how to estimate nitrogen release from diverse organic sources and translate that knowledge to nitrogen fertilization plans and regulatory reporting requirements. Over the first three sessions, we will cover the most common sources of nitrogen and complete a nitrogen budget. In session two, participants will work on and receive feedback on their own nitrogen budgets. In session four, participants will hear from growers about how they manage nitrogen and develop a budget.
Who should enroll?
Growers, Certified Crop Advisers (CCAs), Agricultural Pest Control Advisers (PCAs), and other agricultural professionals who are interested in learning about nitrogen management in organic production are encouraged to enroll.
