water pollution

University of Florida researchers find high levels of legacy nutrients in cores from two estuaries.

A new app, “Producer Connect,” has been launched to help farmers report and analyze fertilizer use, compare their practices with peers, and identify cost-saving opportunities while protecting groundwater. Overapplication of nitrogen has long been a problem, contributing to unsafe nitrate levels in drinking water.

Funding targets expansion of domestic fertilizer production and development of AI-driven water quality monitoring.
