Dr. Trenton L. Roberts is a Professor and Extension Soil Fertility Specialist in the Department of Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences in the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture. Trent’s primary focus has been on the development of soil-based nitrogen tests to improve nitrogen use-efficiency of agricultural crops.
Trenton received degrees from Oklahoma State University, University of Arizona and University of Arkansas all related to soil science and agricultural production. He has been the leader in the development of N-STaR the nitrogen soil test for rice, which is the first site-specific soil test method for rice.
Recently, Trenton’s focus has shifted more towards soil health as it relates to nutrient management as this will be critical for producers in the future. When not in the field Trenton enjoys spending time with his wife and family of four boys, who always do a great job keeping him busy in his spare time.
