· Understanding nitrogen dynamics
The nutrient, the role of microbes and the relevance of soil organic matter.
· Predicting Nitrogen Availability
How much nitrogen releases from organic amendments, compost and cover crops.
· Nitrogen Budgeting
Putting it all together: N budgeting, synchronizing N release with N demand, role of water, and soil testing.
