Episode 48: Conducting cutting-edge methods in turfgrass research
In this episode, Katie Anselmi discusses her experience in turf grass research, using methods like drone imagery, push-and-read soil moisture sensing, and vadose zone monitoring.
Episode 49: Extending agricultural education to improve local soil function
Scientific advancements only matter if they reach the people and places they’re meant to benefit. That’s why Dr. Jake Mowrer and other Extension Professors in Texas A&M’s AgriLife program work to bring the university’s research on soil nutrients and water management directly to the Texas community who can use it. Join Jake as he discusses new insights on effectively implementing biochar, understanding phosphatase activity, and the vital role extension plays in bridging the gap between academic research and the real-world application.
Notes
Dr. Jake Mowrer received both his Bachelor’s in Environmental Health Science and his Master’s and Ph.D. in Soil Chemistry and Fertility from the University of Georgia. He is currently a professor with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension in the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences at Texas A&M University. His research includes projects focusing on the intersection of water -smart and climate -smart agricultural practices and how they enhance or undermine desired outcomes regarding nutrient and carbon cycling.
