About this event

Join us for this Cultivating Healthy Plants webinar. Our partner, Jed Eberly from the Montana State University, will demystify soil health.

Maintaining soil health is critical for sustainable agriculture and plant health and productivity. There are many key indicators of soil health such as soil structure, organic matter content, and biological activity, but understanding how these indicators are altered by management practices can be challenging. Microorganisms in the soil are an often-overlooked component to soil health.

This webinar will describe soil health indicators and strategies and

challenges to improving soil health. It will also address ways in which managing soil health can improve pest management.

Jed Eberly is an associate professor in Agronomy & Soil Microbiology at Montana State University. Jed completed his Ph.D. 2010 in Biological & Ecological Engineering at Oregon State University. He received a B.S. in biology in 2004 from Montana State University-Billings, Billings, MT. His research program is focused on basic and applied research related to the role of soil microorganisms in improving soil quality and crop performance.
