Research
Our research in regenerative agriculture aims to tackle pressing issues in Kansas and beyond, such as soil degradation, water scarcity, biodiversity loss, and climate resilience. Through innovative studies on practices that enhance soil health, boost water retention, and promote carbon sequestration, KSURA seeks to provide Kansas farmers with science-backed insights. Our research strives to develop sustainable, profitable farming systems that not only support local agriculture but also contribute to climate change mitigation.
The effect of nitrogen-fixing bio-inoculants in corn cropping systems
We have explored nitrogen-fixing bio-inoculants in corn systems as an alternative to synthetic nitrogen fertilizers. By focusing on bio-inoculants like Proven®....
