| Background/ Overview: |
The College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources team of agents and specialists are working to determine how nutrients from manures become available to crops and how nutrients are retained, released, and utilized when applied to tropical soils.

| Methods Employed: | Develop a computer-based model to assist producers to complete
individual nutrient management plans. Plan and coordinate a series
of workshops to disseminate the planning aid to other producers
and to provide an educational forum for on-farm successes, research
results, technologies, regulations and other issues relating to
livestock nutrient management. |
