Welcome to the Maharjan Soil and Nutrient Management Lab at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Panhandle Research, Extension and Education Center located in Scottsbluff.

​

Current research and extension effort involves soil conservation and soil fertility management in Nebraska’s major crops such as corn, winter wheat, sugar beet, dry edible beans and emerging crops such as millet, mint and field peas. Other areas of focus are precision agriculture and monitoring and managing greenhouse gas emissions, ammonia volatilization, and nitrate leaching from agricultural fields.
