mobile lab is a joint educational
project between the Penn State
University and the Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental
Resource (DER). The lab is
designed to assist fanners and
landowners efficiently and safely
manage nutrients on the farm, so
that productivity is maintained and
pollution to our water resources is
reduced, thus maintaining or
improving local water quality and
the water quality of the Chesa
peake Bay.
The lab is designed to analyze
soil and manure samples for nutri
ent levels, specifically phosphorus
and potassium levels, in the soil,
and nitrogen, phosphorus and
potassium levels in the manure
sample. Using this data recom
mendations can be made to the far
mer on rates of manure and fertiliz
er needed to satisfy his crop needs,
and at the same time insure that
excesses are reduced which results
in savings to the farmer in reduced
fertilizer bills, and maintenance of
our water quality.
The lab is also capable of testing
water samples for nitrate levels,
which in excess can lead to health
problems for primarily human
infants and livestock.
The lab will be on display at the
fair and a representative from PA
DER and the Conservation District
will be on hand to answer any
questions, as well as provide litera
ture regarding the Chesapeake Bay
cleanup efforts both local and state
wide.
