Research Station, Kenyon MN
Jerry Courson, who manages the Kenyon MN research station, reports that
his operation will be evaluating just under 60,000 yield trial plots in
nine locations scattered about in Minnesota, South Dakota and
Wisconsin. Courson noted that his station nursery will include 10,000
rows of corn hybrid research. Special projects this year include
evaluations on test hybrids for Northern Leaf Blight and Eye Spot
diseases. Of special interest this season will be a bio-tech research
project involving 1,000 rows dedicated to identifying hybrids with
natural resistance to European Corn Borer. |
