Research Reports

Body

The Carrington Research Extension Center conducts research and hosts educational programs to enhance the productivity, competitiveness, and diversity of agriculture in central North Dakota and beyond. Research activities at the CREC include scientists and support staff trained in implementing programs in Agronomy, Plant Pathology, Soil Science, Precision Agriculture and Animal Science. These program teams are able to address a broad scope of factors that impact North Dakota agriculture. The crop diversity of the state is addressed in all program areas and is further supported by the ability to conduct research under both dryland and irrigated conditions. Projects addressing organic crop production and a fruit and berry program broaden the constituency being served. The foundation seed program of the Center represents an important part of the overall NDSU Foundation Seed program. The CREC is the base of operation for four state Extension specialists. The research reports highlight specific research we are conducting.

Progress Update on the Development of Sweet White Lupin as a New Crop for North Dakota Producers

The CREC has been screening germplasm, making selections, and advancing breeding lines of sweet white lupin for adaptation to North Dakota.

Corn Response to Preplant and Starter Fertilizer

A study to examine the performance of corn with preplant incorporated (PPI) and in-furrow (IF) applied phosphorus (P) and zinc (Zn) fertilizer.

Efficiency of Sulfur Fertilizer Affected by Nitrogen Availability in Canola

Winter rye cover crop seeding date and rate impact on soil, weeds and soybean

Study objective is to identify rye plant populations, using combinations of seeding dates and rates, for reaching goals with the cover crop including soil and weed management while maintaining high potential for soybean seed yield.

Pinto bean response to Zn and S fertilizer

A study to examine the performance of pinto bean with preplant incorporated (PPI), in-furrow (IF) and/or post emergence (POST) zinc (Zn) and sulfur (S) fertilizer.

Corn response to preplant, starter and post-applied fertilizer

A study to examine the performance of corn with preplant incorporated (PPI), in-furrow (IF) or post-emergence (POST) applied zinc (Zn) and sulfur (S) fertilizer, plus two specialty fertilizer additives.

Durum wheat response to post N and foliar fungicides

A study to examine durum seed yield and quality response, primarily seed protein and vitreous kernels (hard count), to intensive management with application of post-emergence applied nitrogen (N) and foliar fungicides.

Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria for Corn: Testing Two Commercial Products

A study funded in part by the North Dakota Corn Utilization Council, was conducted to evaluate the ability of two products to supplement some or all of the N required to grow a corn crop in North Dakota.

Biofortification Strategies in Spring Wheat

Biofortification is an emerging strategy that increases the nutrient content of food crops. Wheat, rice, and corn are common crops that are targeted for biofortification efforts. One of the common goals of biofortification is a food system…
