Interest Areas
Agricultural field crop growth and response, environmental, and plant
pest issues in west central Minnesota; varietal development, soil
fertility.
We provide support for on-center and off-center investigators research pest issues.
Current Research
Current soybean research is investigating plant populations and
varietal influences on white mold, cropping system influences on
soybean cyst nematode, and determining the effectiveness of using
stacked defensive traits in managing SCN, root rot, and iron deficiency
chlorosis. Corn research is centered around phosphorus management with
studies on corn response to phosphorus on medium P testing soils,
tillage system/phosphorus interactions, and phosphorus losses with
manure and tillage system. WCROC provides field research plot support
for soybean, potato, wheat, oats, and barley varietal development
programs and corn, soybeans, and wheat, weed management studies. Corn
performance and maturity trials are conducted in central and northern
maturity locations.
