COLUMBUS, Ohio — Libby Dayton, a research scientist with Ohio State University’s School of Environment and Natural Resources (SENR), will give a free presentation titled “The Utility of a Phosphorus Risk Index Framework in Ohio” from 3:30-4:30 p.m. Thursday (1/27) as part of the school’s “Agriculture, Water Quality and Nutrient Management” winter seminar series.
