"Greenhouse gas fluxes from turfgrass systems: Species, growth rate, clipping management, and environmental effects" with Drs. Quincy Law and Jon Trappe

Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring gases that contribute to climate change. These gases, like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, are both absorbed and produced by turfgrasses; however, it is possible that choosing the right grass species and management practices can help reduce emissions. In this episode, Drs. Quincy Law and Jon Trappe discuss two experiments in which they tried to pinpoint which grass species and management practices are most effective at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from turfgrasses.

Tune in to learn:

• How grass growth rates can impact emissions
• Which grass species are best to plant for reduced emissions
• Which other factors could impact turfgrass managers' planting decisions
• What future turfgrass and greenhouse gas research is needed

The Living Soil Handbook with Jesse Frost.

Regenerative agriculture focuses on improving soil health by disturbing the soil as little as possible, keeping the ground covered as much as possible, and keeping the ground planted as much as possible. In this episode, farmer Jesse Frost of the No-Till Market Garden podcast walks us through these three tenets, how they can help farmers, and how researchers and growers can better connect.

Tune in to learn:

• How we can better define tillage
• Why farming is like a choose-your-own adventure
• How these three tenets can help improve soil health
• How researchers can better communicate their research

Integrated pest management, or IPM, is a system by which pests are controlled using informed decision-making techniques. Regenerative agriculture is an approach to farming that focuses on soil health and environmental recovery. In this episode, Tom Green finishes out our five part mini-series on IPM by walking us through how these two systems can work together to improve soil health, reduce pests, and help improve farmer profits.

Tune in to learn:

• What are some of the main tenets of regenerative agriculture?
• What are some of the obstacles regenerative ag researchers face?
• How can regenerative ag boost natural pest control techniques?
• Why are there both pros and cons to increased flexibility in applied techniques?

"Assessing the Effects of Lake-Dredged Sediments on Soil Health: Agricultural and Environmental Implications on Northwestern Ohio" with Angélica Vázquez-Ortega and Russell Brigham

Shipping accounts for a large portion of the Ohio economy. Channels therefore need regular dredging to keep shipping channels clear. In the past, such sediments were often released back into Lake Erie. However, as this can cause environmental problems, the Ohio legislature banned the practice of open dumping in Lake Erie in 2020, creating quite the sticky situation for dredging teams. Enter Dr. Angélica Vázquez-Ortega and Russell Brigham, two researchers working to find new uses for these sediments. In this episode, we discuss their work testing the efficacy of lake-dredged sediments as farm amendments.

Tune in to learn:

• How lake-dredged sediments are processed for further use
• Ways in which sediments can improve soil health
• The relationship of sediments with Legacy P
• Future research areas for sediment use
