A row crop field tour is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 5, at 4 p.m. at the NDSU Carrington Research Extension Center. The tour will conclude with a sponsored supper.

Tour speakers include NDSU agronomists and plant pathologists, plus industry agronomists.

Participants will view field research trials and receive production recommendations on corn, dry beans and soybeans, according to Greg Endres, NDSU Extension Service area agronomist. “Our objective is to concisely discuss as many production subjects and share as much research trial data as possible to give participants information they can utilize for their farms or farm clients," he said.

The tour agenda includes corn growing season review, dry bean plant establishment and disease management overview, soybean variety selection and plant establishment and row crop disease management with emphasis on root rots, white mold and soybean cyst nematode.

Continuing education credits will be available for certified crop advisers participating in the event.
