Show Notes
Joining us today is plant physiologist Nicolas Cafaro La Menza, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Here, he researches the development of agronomic strategies and tools to enhance agroecosystems management.
Based at a research station in West Central Nebraska, Nicolas works in both research and extension. Nicolas closely studies the nutrients and resource use of crops to enhance plant growth – specifically looking at factors such as sunlight, water, phosphorus, and nitrogen…
