TITLE OF THESIS: Carbon Footprints and Sustainable Solutions for Potato Cultivation on Prince Edward Island
Soil organic matter (SOM) is pivotal in sustainable agriculture, soil health, and crop productivity. This study evaluated twelve cover crops and three soil amendments for their use in sustainable and environmentally friendly farming.The specific objectives were to i) examine the effect of various cover crops on accumulation of SOM under controlled conditions, ii) investigate the performance of the four selected cover crops with different tillage methods to improve soil health under field conditions of Prince Edward Island (PEI), and iii) explore the impact of organic and inorganic soil amendments on carbon sequestration, soil health parameters, and CO2 emissions from soils of PEI under long-term potato cultivation.
For a complete abstract, see the 69传媒calendar entry.
The presentation will be presented via a web conference. Anyone who wishes to attend the public presentation please RSVP to gsc@upei.ca to receive the link to the meeting.
