Greenhouse Gas Exchange Trial
This research trial is a collaboration with researchers from Cornell Cooperative Extension. It tracks the amount of greenhouse gases released from a field of winter squash over the course of a season in both tilled and un-tilled ground and using several different fertility teatments. The goal is to collect data that will help growers find ways to promote carbon sequestration without unintentionally increasing the release of more potent greenhouse gases like methane and nitrous oxide.
Spring wheat is planted in the early spring and it is harvested in July.
