Microarthropods improve oat nutritional quality and mediate fertilizer effects on soil biological activity” with Dr. Ashley Jernigan

Microarthropods are little critters that can have a big impact on crop production, particularly when it comes to nutrient cycling and nutrient acquisition. However, there’s still much to learn about how the work these little helpers do is affected when paired with different types of fertilizers. In this episode, Dr. Jernigan joins me to discuss how microarthropods get along with different fertilizer treatments.

Tune in to learn:

·         What other animal springtails look like

·         How researchers count microarthropods

·         What impacts organic fertilizers have on microarthropods

·         How microarthropods can help crops thrive
