Eduardo Garay Lagos

Eduardo has a deep passion for soil science, sustainable agriculture, and nutrient management. He brings diverse agricultural experience from across Latin America, Australia, and two major U.S. farming regions: the Mississippi Delta and the Midwest. Eduardo enjoys collaborating across disciplines to address the complex challenges farmers face while advancing climate-resilient agroecosystems. His past research has focused on integrating annual and perennial cover crops to optimize corn–soybean performance, improve soil health, and reduce nitrogen fertilizer losses to the environment. He currently works with the manure management and water quality research group.  As an avid coffee drinker and hiker, Eduardo is always up for a good laugh or a conversation about his research and outreach.
