    Episode 16 Manure, Compost, and Weeds, with Chryseis Modderman: What's Killing My Kale?
    (2018-10-31) Klodd, Annie; Hoidal, Natalie; Modderman, Chryseis
    This month on "What's Killing My Kale?" we had a fascinating discussion about this with Chryseis Modderman, UMN Extension Educator for manure management. Among other things, we talked about best practices for applying compost and manure on vegetable fields, and how it is that weed seeds and diseases can travel all the way from the pasture, through the animal, and onto the vegetable field. We then discussed practices that growers can adopt to minimize the risk of bringing in new weed infestations via manure and compost.

    In this episode of the Nutrient Management Podcast, we're talking about manure application in 2024. What's the value of manure today, given that fertilizer prices are still elevated compared to 2018 and 2019? What does long-term research show us about manure's value, and how might this information benefit growers and producers? Which manure best management practices (BMPs) help growers be most efficient? In what ways has ManureDB benefited farmers since its launch one year ago? What's on the horizon for manure management?
