WRC projects: The Value of Manure; Nutrient Management Planner; On-Farm Manure Timing Demonstration
José Hernandez's interests lie in the fields of nutrient management, manure management, precision crop management, analysis of landscape-scale on-farm experiments, and estimation and uncertainty of economically optimum fertilizer rates. Hernandez is the principal educator/researcher on the 319 project "Maximizing the economic benefits of manure to reduce nutrient loading." The project combines small-group education on calculating the value of manure for individual operations with on-farm trials on corn response to the timing of manure applications.
Hernandez also serves in the editorial board of the Agronomy Journal, and participates in various North Central Extension and Research Associations. He has a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in Soil Science, and a B.S. (Honors) from EARTH University in Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. He has been at the WRC since 2008.
