Agricultural drainage

Contact: Ehsan Ghane: ghane@msu.edu

"I have research and extension interests in the areas of water quality and agricultural drainage. I provide education to diverse groups representing drainage contractors, agricultural producers, water, and the public. My main research goal is to address agricultural water management issues related to non-point source pollution (i.e., excess nitrogen and phosphorous). I am interested in innovative practices that can reduce nutrient load runoff to surface water and conserve water for crop use."

Edge-of-Field Research

The goal of this project is to investigate the effectiveness of drainage practices to reduce nutrient loss from subsurface-drained farms.
