While some growers face visible salinity challenges, the impact of salt stress from repeat use of high-chloride and high-salt fertilizers is a growing challenge across the country. In this webinar, we’ll explore how fertilizer source and delivery method can influence seedling emergence, salt loading, root health, the rhizosphere microbiome and nutrient uptake.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) has substantial value in the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and other NRCS conservation programs to address resource concerns for plant health, water, air and biodiversity resources. This webinar explains the basics of IPM that make it useful in resource conservation efforts. Using practical examples based on real world experiences, presenters describe how NRCS and conservation district staff, land grant scientists, Extension agents, and crop consultants can work together in supporting development and use of 595 pest management conservation systems.
