Tony Provin

Tony Provin is Professor and Extension Specialist at Texas A&M University, where he directs the Soil, Water, and Forage Testing Laboratory. His program bridges analytical science with agricultural applications through soil health assessment.

Provin's research develops testing methodologies for soil, water and plant materials that inform nutrient management strategies. Current investigations examine biochar amendments for carbon sequestration, remediation of petroleum-impacted soils, and micronutrient management in cropping systems. His extension program translates findings into practical solutions for agricultural productivity and environmental protection.

Recent publications address greenhouse gas mitigation through soil amendments and thermal treatment of contaminated soils. He leads regional initiatives standardizing soil fertility recommendations across public laboratories and develops educational materials on water quality management and land application protocols.

His laboratory serves agricultural stakeholders through analytical services while conducting research on advanced instrumentation for environmental samples. Provin teaches professional development workshops on soil health assessment and nutrient management planning.
