0 The Plant Materials Program develops plant materials and plant technology for the conservation of the Nation's natural resources. Many of today's environmental problems can be addressed effectively through the use of plants. Plant Materials centers and specialists provide state-of-the-art technology to help field offices and land users solve critical natural resource issues. The Plant Materials program strives to meet the challenge by: a) developing new technology for current conservation needs, and b) transferring this information to its customers. https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/site/plantmaterials/home/
0 The Crop Nutrient Uptake Tool provides estimates of nutrient removal by crops at various levels, such as the farm, conservation district, and watershed level. These estimates are used to calculate nutrient balance sheets, which are employed in the design of animal waste management systems. https://plantsorig.sc.egov.usda.gov/npk/main
0 For use online or downloaded, the PLANTS Interactive Identification Keys allow the use of multiple characters simultaneously, minimizing the number of steps necessary for plant identification. Over 100 keys, representing various plant groups, are available for use and testing. These keys use SLIKS freeware written in JavaScript and work best in Internet Explorer. https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/plantmaterials/technical/toolsdata/plant/?cid=stelprdb1045110
