About this event

A collaborative Extension IPM webinar series with: University of Idaho, Montana State University, University of Nevada, Reno, and Utah State University

Managing healthy soils is important for plant growth and yield, the environment, and our pocketbooks. This presentation includes three parts. The first links soil behavior based on texture (sandy to loamy to clayey) to nutrient management. The second part covers fertilizer use and rates, while the third is all about organic matter.

Speaker: Dr. Melanie Stock, Utah State University: Dr. Melanie Stock is an Associate Professor / Extension Urban & Small Farms Specialist at Utah State University and leads the USU Small Farms Lab (@usu_smallfarms on IG). With students and farmers, she focuses on water and nutrient resource management, season extension, urban soil contamination, and optimizing production of cut flowers as high-value crops in the Intermountain West. She is also an avid urban homesteader.
