Project Description:  Advances in cropping systems technology – including genetics and management – have the potential to increase crop productivity and improve water quality. This project uses a research site that includes 48, half-acre, independently drained plots that were donated by Bayer and The Climate Corporation. This research infrastructure has created an unprecedented ability to understand how future advances in genetics and management can be used to improve water quality.
