July 31, 2017
SWCS Madison, WI
Today’s Objectives
• Southern Willamette Valley
Groundwater Management Area
• Partnership for Improved Nutrient
Efficiency (PINE) Project
• Lysimeter NO₃¯-N concentrations
over time by crop type
• Comparison of current cropland with
1990s data

Willamette Valley
• Most rainfall occurs in winter months
• Mediterranean climate
• Over 200 different crops grown

Southern Willamette Valley
Groundwater Management Area
Partnership for Improved Nutrient Efficiency
Project Objective
Provide a tool that will help farmers, managers and
conservation groups quantify the water quality benefits of
practices that they are conducting or funding and use that
information to set priorities and inform water quality
trading.

Peppermint
Row Crop
Grass Seed
• Agricultural practices in the valley have
become more nutrient efficient over time for
peppermint and row crops
• Grass seed fertilizer timing and rates should
be researched further to reduce nitrate
leaching
• Four years of data collection increases
reliability especially for perennial crops
• Frequent sharing of data with farmers
encourages community engagement
