Project updates from my PhD Research
Research Overview
My research focuses on the soil-water nexus, looking at phosphorus (P) as a nutrient and exploring its fate in crop, soil & run-off water. My PhD research includes two field studies: 1) a field-scale study to evaluate the impact that various agricultural management practices have on influencing fate of applied phosphorus in run-off water; and 2) a small-plot study evaluating the agronomic performance and environmental impact of 8 commercial P fertilizer sources applied at a “low” and “high” rate.

Water Management Project
Conducted across 25 ha at GFM Discovery Farm, this project is evaluating the ability of agricultural management practices to influence both volume and quality of run-off water. Click here to learn more.
P Forms and Rates Study
This “small-plot” project is conducted on three sites across Saskatchewan and is evaluating the fate of eight P fertilizer forms applied at a “low” and “high” rate in soil, crop, and run-off water. You can learn more about this project here.
GFM Discovery Farm Projects
Though not included in the scope of my PhD research, my current role as Applied Research Lead at GFM Discovery Farm Langham allows me to demonstrate and evaluate emerging practices and technologies in the Ag Industry. Check out Discovery Farm’s website here to learn more.
