Science-based research to find the balance between responsible nutrient management, water quality and feeding a growing population continues this year through industry-funded support.

The Nutrient Research and Education Council, now in its third year, will allocate more than $2.4 million to 20 projects in 2015 that have a high probability of identifying systems that will reduce nutrient loss and maintain water quality.

The first and multi-year projects include those that will measure the impact of nitrogen management systems on nutrient loss from tiled and non-tiled fields, the efficacy of specialty buffer plantings and bioreactors and wetlands that may offer additional benefits.
