Bin Peng discusses his research on nutrient loss reduction and conservation in agriculture. He highlights the challenges farmers face with hydrological extremes like droughts and flooding, which affect productivity and nutrient use efficiency. Peng explains the importance of managing nutrient budgets from field to watershed scales to reduce nutrient loss, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus, which contribute to environmental issues like the hypoxic zone in the Gulf of Mexico. His research aims to improve water and nutrient use efficiency through a systems approach, integrating advanced technologies and conservation practices to support sustainable agricultural production and environmental quality.
