AMES, Iowa – Iowa State University Extension soil management and environment information can now be found on a new website http://www.agronext.iastate.edu/smse. The Soil Management/Environment website replaces the Soil Management and Conservation Practices website. It contains information that is useful to producers, agriculture business, and scientists.
Website content is based on past and current extension and research projects on tillage and cropping systems, soil carbon, residue management, and cover crops. ISU Extension publications, newsletter articles, refereed journal articles, and relevant links are listed under each area of interest. Descriptions of the most current projects are also included.
Several management tools are available, including residue and erosion calculators and other decision-making tools.
