Webinar 1: How Nutrients Move
Dec. 15
In the first of our 2022-23 Drainage Innovation Webinar Series, soil scientist and Purdue University adjunct professor of agronomy Chad Penn discusses the principles of how nutrients move. With the flow of phosphorus and nitrogen into waterways being increasingly scrutinized and drainage enhancements and alternatives studied, it is first essential to know how these nutrients move to understand how potential damage can be mitigated. This research is targeted at contractors, landlowners, researchers and other drainage-curious readers. AGREM’s Jeremy Meiners will also join Penn in an expert-to-expert Q&A.
Webinar 2: Phosphorus Removal Structures
Jan. 19
In the second of our 2022-23 Drainage Innovation Webinar Series, soil scientist and Purdue University adjunct professor of agronomy Chad Penn outlines the benefits and logistics of phosphorus removal structures in agricultural drainage. This research is targeted at contractors, landlowners, researchers and other drainage-curious readers. AGREM’s Jeremy Meiners will also join Penn in an expert-to-expert Q&A.
Webinar 3: Material matters – Filters and pipe styles
Feb. 9
In the third of our 2022-23 Drainage Innovation Webinar Series, Michigan State University associate professor and extension specialist Ehsan Ghane discusses the vast differences that can occur depending on tile style and material. Socks, spacing and style all play a factor in the efficacy of drainage, meaning no drainage solution can be on-size-fits-all. Ghane discusses his research on how different styles of drain tile can increase the efficacy and efficiency of drainage while mitigating damage to the environment. This research is targeted at landlowners, contractors and all those drainage-curious.
