Some information articles are either too long for a reasonable blog, or they need a permanence that will keep them readily available over time. Such is the case with three recently-posted articles on this website.

General Agricultural Science Terminology is a compilation of definitions for words and/or phrases that may be encountered in articles that appear in agricultural print and electronic media venues.

Soil-Plant Water Relations is an article that provides the basic concepts of how soil properties relate to water and nutrient availability to plants.

Principles of Water Management for Soybeans is a copy of a MAFES Bulletin that Harry Hodges and I published in 1983. Even though the date of publication was almost 30 years ago, the presented information is still pertinent and relevant.
