In this episode, we interviewed Dr. Deanna Osmond, professor in the Soil and Crop Sciences Department at North Carolina State University. We explore Dr. Osmond’s career in nutrient management, focusing on the challenges of phosphorus sustainability in agriculture. The discussion covers her involvement with the SERA 17 initiative, the creation of environmental phosphorus thresholds, and the development of tools like the Phosphorus Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) and the Fertilizer Recommendation Support Tool (FRST). Dr. Osmond also shares her thoughts on the future of phosphorus management and offers advice to young researchers.
