Pesticide Ecological Risk Assessment Modeling Platform for Regulatory Submissions
Development of integrated ecological risk assessment platforms that implement FOCUS, PELMO, PRZM, and TOXSWA exposure modeling for soil, water, and sediment compartments alongside ECOTOX dose-response databases for non-target organism risk characterization in crop protection product regulatory submissions. Enables crop protection product registrants to conduct comprehensive ecological risk assessments with regulatory-accepted modeling frameworks that generate the environmental fate and effects data packages required for EPA and EFSA registration submissions with appropriate uncertainty characterization and risk mitigation options.

Landscape-Scale Ecological Risk Assessment for Agricultural Biodiversity Protection
Development of landscape-scale ecological risk assessment platforms that integrate pesticide exposure modeling with biodiversity distribution data, habitat connectivity mapping, and population vulnerability assessment for non-target arthropod, bird, and mammal populations in agricultural landscapes. Enables more ecologically realistic risk assessment that captures the landscape-level cumulative exposure and population-level effects of agricultural pesticide use on biodiversity beyond the individual organism risk assessments that regulatory frameworks typically require but that fail to predict population-level impacts.

Cumulative Environmental Risk Analytics Platform for Multi-Stressor Agricultural Systems
Development of cumulative risk assessment platforms that quantify the combined ecological effects of multiple simultaneous agricultural stressors including pesticides, nutrients, sediment, and habitat loss on freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems adjacent to agricultural land. Addresses the regulatory gap in cumulative ecological risk assessment where individual chemical risk assessments for each stressor fail to capture the synergistic and additive effects of multiple agricultural environmental pressures that together determine ecosystem health outcomes in agricultural landscapes.

Soil Ecosystem Services Risk Assessment Platform for Agricultural Land Management
Development of soil ecosystem services risk assessment frameworks that quantify the impacts of agricultural management practices including tillage, pesticide application, and organic matter management on soil biodiversity and the provisioning, regulating, and supporting ecosystem services that soil biological communities deliver. Enables agricultural land management decisions to incorporate evidence-based assessment of soil ecosystem service risks alongside agronomic productivity considerations, preventing management practices that achieve short-term yield improvements at the cost of irreversible soil biodiversity and function losses.

No-Till and Conservation Agriculture Transition Support Platform
Development of conservation agriculture transition support platforms that guide farmers through the multi-year agronomic challenges of adopting no-till and reduced tillage systems including weed management adaptation, equipment optimization, and soil health monitoring with peer network access to experienced conservation agriculture practitioners. Enables successful conservation agriculture adoption by providing the agronomic transition support that addresses the specific challenges encountered in the first 3-5 years of tillage reduction where yield penalties and weed management difficulties without adequate support lead to conservation agriculture abandonment before soil health improvements are realized.

Cover Crop System Design and Termination Management Platform
Development of cover crop species selection, mixture design, and termination timing optimization platforms that match cover crop systems to specific farming system goals including nitrogen fixation, weed suppression, erosion control, and soil health improvement while managing termination timing to avoid yield drag from soil nitrogen immobilization and moisture competition. Enables farmers to implement cover crop systems with species composition and management recommendations tailored to their specific soil type, climate, follow-on crop, and farming objective priorities rather than applying generic cover crop recommendations that may not achieve targeted outcomes in specific production contexts.
