Iowa Nutrient Researcher Directory The Iowa Nutrient Researcher Directory is a web directory designed to guide visitors to diverse types of research projects to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus in Iowa's waters and the researchers leading those projects. This short video about the directory features four scientists working in diverse types of projects with Iowa State University, the University of Iowa and University of Northern Iowa whose work has received support from the Iowa Nutrient Research Center. |

RegenPGC - Perennial Groundcover Approaches to Pressing Conservation Challenges Morrill Professor Raj Raman, in Iowa State University's Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Department, and collaborators at The Land Institute and Corteva, discuss the RegenPGC vision for Midwest cropping systems. Early research -- including by professors Ken Moore, agronomy, and Shuizhang Fei, horticulture -- to investigate the potential of perennial groundcovers for Midwest cropping systems received initial "seed" funding from the Iowa Nutrient Research Center.
