Can we utilize ecological interactions to design sustainable agricultural systems?

Randa collects soil to measure nematode dispersal as a student at Penn State.
If so, how? I study 1) pest management in cropping systems, 2) the effect of biodiversity and habitat heterogeneity on ecosystem services, and 3) the role of farmer decision-making in agricultural management, in collaboration with social scientists. Here in Wyoming, I research projects in these areas in relevant field crop and forage systems, in collaboration with faculty and Extension professionals here at the University and with others in the region.
