Soil Health Institute’s Post

Farmers and others from the potato industry gathered last month to hear the latest advancements at the Idaho Potato Conference, where SHI Soil Health Educator Dr. Katherine East presented a workshop with colleagues from the University of Idaho and University of Idaho Extension. Dr. East discussed the relationship between soil health and soil pathogens and demonstrated how reduced tillage improves water infiltration. The workshop also covered the free Slakes app for measuring aggregate stability. Dr. East’s presentation was supported through a USDA Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities project led by Oregon State University. https://lnkd.in/gD4Arh7d
