New report in CSA News from the Christine Sprunger Lab and Kellogg Biological Station LTER shows how soil protein is a key indicator of soil health and nitrogen management canr.msu.edu/news/new-publi…

Tillage, texture, or crop diversity – which factor most influences soil microbial abundance and diversity? A recent #SSSAJ on-farm study conducted by Agyei et al. revealed that tillage significantly affects the soil's microbial community doi.org/10.1002/saj2.2…

Congratulations to Christine Sprunger for her new grant to explore how regenerative ag practices enhance soil health & yield stability, evaluate the relationship between soil health & greenhouse gas emissions, & identify factors influencing farmer adoption of climate-smart practices!

PRI Faculty Christine Sprunger's research project is among the four funded by MSU's new Agricultural Climate Resiliency Program. Their aim? Equipping Michigan field crops farmers with the insights to cultivate climate-resilient cropping systems. canr.msu.edu/news/new-agric…
