The crops, soil, and water resources laboratory at the OSU South
Centers has enhanced its analytical services after acquiring several
new pieces of sophisticated equipment.
The new equipment and instruments will help the lab provide services
for analysis of air pollution (carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, methane,
etc.) as well as analysis of coal, fish, fruits and nuts, garbage,
grain, manure, plant, fertilizer, soil, and water samples.
The enhanced analytical services will be able to provide usable
information to farmers, Extension educators, and researchers for
nutrient management and fertilization, manure utilization and
disposal.
These expanded laboratory analysis services will be provided by Yogi
Raut, Stacey Reno, and Sara Scott. Yogi was hired as a research
associate and will be working as a lab manager for overall supervision
and maintenance of the equipment. Stacey and Sara, as part-time worker
and student intern, will receive, process, and analyze samples and
disseminate information to clientele.
