Coastal Plains Soil, Water, and Plant Research Center
2002-uuuu
The mission of the Coastal Plains Soil, Water, and Plant Research Center is to anticipate, identify, and solve natural resource problems in agriculture that are important to the USA in general and the SE Coastal Plain in particular. The staff conducts both basic and applied research, emphasizes total resource management, and currently focuses on three issues: soil management, the Center solves problems of erosion, soil strength, and soil fertility. In water management, the Center solves problems caused by too much or too little rain, by non-point-source agricultural pollution, and by difficulties disposing of animal waste. In plant management, we improve cotton germplasm and increase both sustainability and competitiveness of crop production. We investigate these issues on major field crops (cotton, corn, soybeans, small grains) and high-value horticultural crops. The mission is pursued in cooperation with other agencies, universities, and priva.
