The vision of the Cornell University's Nutrient Management Spear Program is to assess current
knowledge, identify research and educational needs, conduct applied, field and
laboratory-based research, facilitate technology and knowledge transfer, and aid in the
on-farm implementation of strategies for field crop nutrient management, including timely
application of organic and inorganic nutrient sources to improve profitability and
competitiveness of New York State farms while protecting the environment. For more information about our program activities see
