LOUISVILLE, KY \u2013 Monty\u2019s Plant Food Co. is proud to announce Dr. Amin Nouri is joining its growing research team. Dr. Nouri is joining Monty\u2019s as Senior Agriculture Research Scientist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Nouri is a soil scientist with an extensive background in agricultural research, training, and extension. Amin has authored and co-authored more than 20 peer-reviewed publications, served as an editor in scientific journals, and took various roles in science societies meetings. During the last few years, Amin has engaged in postdoctoral work at Oregon State University and The University of Tennessee, where he and numerous collaborators have conducted research projects and published research papers on different aspects of sustainable agriculture in sub-humid and semi-arid climates. Amin has also contributed to several international studies and publications involving soil conservation in semi-arid climates including those in Anatolia, Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amin joins Monty\u2019s Research and Development team of scientists, agronomists, and longtime farmers. Monty\u2019s President, Dennis Stephens, says Amin is a welcome addition to the company\u2019s ongoing efforts to educate farmers about the direct relationship between soil management and yield. \u201cSoil science is at the core of all Monty\u2019s products and efforts. We are committed to literally saving the earth for agriculture, and Amin\u2019s extensive experience is going to accelerate our research and knowledge-building efforts like never before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amin Nouri earned his Ph.D. in Environmental Soil Science from the University of Tennessee in December 2017. His dissertation, \u201cLong-Term Impacts of Tillage and Cropping Managements on Soil Hydro-Physical Properties and Yield,\u201d is the culmination of a multi-year study of the hydro-physical properties of soil in various long-term management practices including tillage, no-till, cover crops, and fallow states. By associating soil hydro-physical functions and crop productivity with soil management strategies, Amin\u2019sPh.D. work has helped to develop and identify regenerative agricultural practices with the greatest soil health, crop yield, as well as long-term yield stability benefits for corn, cotton, and soybean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
