Our Soil Microbiology Extension program is dedicated to unraveling the intricate microbial processes beneath the soil surface. Through workshops, field demonstrations, and hands-on training, we equip farmers, agronomists, and researchers with the knowledge to harness the power of soil microbes for improved nutrient cycling, disease suppression, and overall soil health, leading to more sustainable and productive agricultural systems.
