Join a GROW Farmer Forum on Using Cover Crop Mixes for Weed Suppression
Farmers from Illinois and Virginia will share their experience using cover crop mixes to suppress weeds in their operations.
New Water-Treatment System Removes Nitrogen, Phosphorus from Farm Tile Drainage
Scientists have developed a new edge-of-field water-treatment system that reduces the load of excess nutrients washing into waterways from farm drainage systems.
AI & Breeding
From data to decision-making, Ashley Haddon shares how artificial intelligence is being used in crop production today.
Comprehensive Genetic Library for Soybean Cyst Nematode Could Renew Resistance, Profitability for Soybean Growers
Illinois research on the soybean cyst nematode pangenome is helping scientists better understand the pest’s genetic diversity and how it overcomes resistance.
Winter Barley: A Natural Way to Suppress Weeds
Research from Southern Illinois University indicates that switching to winter barley could suppress weeds with less biomass than cereal rye.
Why Wheat?
Abigail Peterson shares how a wheat field in her own backyard served as a real-world example of how crop rotations can evolve to meet agronomic and economic goals.
Supporting Illinois Crop Management Decisions
Deanna Burkhart outlines on-farm trial opportunities in the management of cover crops, double-crop, insecticides and sulfur for the upcoming growing season with the Illinois Soybean Association.
The Economics of Soy and Sulfur
Darby Danzl reinforces the importance of evaluating sulfur not only from a yield standpoint in soybean fields but also through an economic lens.
Upcoming Webinar: Trash or Treasure? Maximize the Value of Your Residue
What some call “trash” in the field may actually contain the nutritional value needed to feed next year’s crop. Hear Dr. Connor Sible and Ava Isaacs review the data and recent Illinois trial work on March 10.
Improving the Soybean Cyst Nematode Fight Through Genetic Advancements
With support from the Soy Checkoff, scientists are stacking resistance genes and exploring new strategies to outsmart soybean cyst nematode while continuing to feed the soybean genetic pipeline.
