Mission:
The mission of the Laboratory is to develop environmentally compatible and economically sustainable new and improved integrated water, soil, nutrient and crop management practices for irrigated agriculture in the United States. This includes research projects to: (1) develop new integrated management practices for conserving soil and water resources, (2) improve crop production efficiency and crop quality, (3) reduce nitrate movement into groundwater, (4) protect surface water and groundwater quality, (5) improve Irrigation efficiencies, (6) develop improved irrigation systems, and (7) evaluate nutrient and mineral cycling in plan production systems.
