Brief Project Summary:

This is the third year of a study that builds on the results of a project done to determine the source of sediments in the Blue Earth River of Southern Minnesota. The Blue Earth River supplies the largest amount of sediment to the Minnesota River and Lake Pepin. One objective of this project is to characterize the extent of phosphorus sorption and desorption by river bank materials of various origins, locations, and depths in Blue Earth County. A second objective will assess the potential of these materials to adsorb and desorb soluble phosphorus discharged into the Minnesota River and estimate phosphorus transported by river bank sediments that originated as discharge from wastewater...

Final Project Results

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
