Long-term conservation practices reduce nitrate leaching while maintaining yields in tile-drained Midwestern soils
Nitrate-N losses from artificially drained agricultural fields lead to an acceleration of eutrophication and hypoxia in aquatic ecosystems. Adoption of conservation practices, such as cover crops and woodchip bioreactors, can significantly reduce nitrate losses and improve water quality. However, th...
