How can soil microbes improve farm and forest productivity? Researchers with the NH Agricultural Experiment Station (https://colsa.unh.edu/nhaes/) at the University of New Hampshire will present their latest research on these topics at the 2019 New Hampshire Farm and Forest Expo Friday, Feb 1, 2019, at p.m The two 45-minute education sessions, free and open to the public, will be held in the Hale Room of Doubletree by Hilton, 700 Elm Street, Manchester Andre Brito (https://colsa.unh.edu/person/andre-fonseca-de-brito), associate professor of agriculture, nutrition, and food systems, and Richard Smith (https://colsa.unh.edu/person/richard-g-smith), associate professor of natural resources and the environment, will present research on alternative strategies for improving forage production and season extension in pasture-based dairy The forage production COWS GRAZING IN BRASSICA CREDIT: ANDRE BRITO season in New Hampshire is o en short and can be highly variable This presentation will address several strategies for extending the forage production season, including annual forage crops intended to fill the “gaps” in the typical pasture growing season and the use of silvopasture Brito and Smith also will share research results regarding the e ects of brassicas on milk production and methane emissions Experiment station scientist Stuart Grandy (http://unh.edu/grandylab/), associate professor of natural resources and the environment, will discuss why soil health matters and how soil microbes can improve farm and forest productivity Soil organic matter is vital to promoting soil health and farm and agroecosystem sustainability Building soil organic matter requires the building of the microbial community Microbial communities that are large active and e icient are the key to building soil organic matter building on farms and in forests This material is based upon work supported by the NH Agricultural Experiment Station, through joint funding of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, U.S Department of Agriculture, under award numbers 1017808 (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https3A portal.nifa.usda.gov_web_crisprojectpages_1017808.php&d=DwMFaQ&c=c6MrceVCY5m5A_KAUkrdoA&r=43nhFYk7Lgb9QdQ_EwZ2RfOaAn9EEDYKO5BGcXFWdG 1010680 (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https3A portal.nifa.usda.gov_web_crisprojectpages_1010680.php&d=DwMFaQ&c=c6MrceVCY5m5A_KAUkrdoA&r=43nhFYk7Lgb9QdQ_EwZ2RfOaAn9EEDYKO5BGcXFWdG https://www.unh.edu/unhtoday/news/release/2019/01/22/unh-scientists-present-research-2019-nh-farm-and-forest-expo 1/3 5/21/2021 UNH Scientists Present Research at 2019 NH Farm and Forest Expo | UNH Today M4Ostsak&e=), and 1003421 (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https3A portal.nifa.usda.gov_web_crisprojectpages_1003421.php&d=DwMFaQ&c=c6MrceVCY5m5A_KAUkrdoA&r=43nhFYk7Lgb9QdQ_EwZ2RfOaAn9EEDYKO5BGcXFWdG and the state of New Hampshire Founded in 1887, the NH Agricultural Experiment Station (http://colsa.unh.edu/nhaes) at the UNH College of Life Sciences and Agriculture is UNH’s original research center and an elemental component of New Hampshire's land-grant university heritage and mission The University of New Hampshire inspires innovation and transforms lives in our state, nation and world More than 16,000 students from all 50 states and 71 countries engage with an award-winning faculty in top-ranked programs in business, engineering, law, health and human services, liberal arts and the sciences across more than 200 programs of study.
