You are invited to attend the upcoming conference Phosphorus Cycling in Agricultural, Urban and Aquatic Ecosystems sponsored by the College of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Sciences at the University of Minnesota.

The purpose of this conference is to gather experts on phosphorus and share what is known about its use and identify knowledge gaps. Leading experts will discuss phosphorus transport, water hypoxia, the phosphorus index, and fertilizer recommendations. Scientists, farmers and others with a strong interest in water quality will help formulate research priorities during breakout sessions at the end of the conference. The format for the day is modeled after the University’s successful Nitrogen Symposium that was held in 2002.

The conference will be held from 8:00 a.m. - 4:45 p.m., on Tuesday, March 29, at the Continuing Education Center, on the St. Paul Campus.
