Nutrient Deficiencies
Application of experimental and conventional fertilizers
and biologicals for effects on nutrient and soil health
needs of crops.
Soil Studies
Soil measurements for product effects on movement from
site of application, correction of nutrient content and other
field and environmental effects.
Crop Measurements
In-crop data collections to measure treatment effects on
plant growth.
Crop Yield
Grain yield measurements with scaled grain cart. Coming in
2020 will be a combine with Harvest Master system for
increased yield measurement accuracy.
Post Emergence Applications
Foliar application of nutrients and crop protection
products to test plots.
Application Evaluations
Spray nozzle technology evaluations for penetration into crop
canopy.
Nutrient Placement
Use of dye for marking fertilizer placement relative to seed
through planter application.
Orchard Application
Foliar and ground application of nutrients and crop protection
on the high density apple orchard.
Seed Variety Trials
Planting seed variety plots for demonstrations and/or yield
testing
Broadcast Dry Fertilizer Application In Plots
Accurate broadcast application of dry fertilizers to plots with air
spreader. It is calibrated for various dry fertilizer types.
In-Crop Dry Fertilizer Band Application
In-crop applications of dry fertilizers in plots with air applicator.
Topdress Nutrient Applications
Spring applications of nitrogen and other nutrients to winter
wheat plots. Can also apply early season crop protection.
Tram lines are set to control wheel traffic through the plots.
