2015 Optimizing Fungicide Application Strategies for Management of Sclerotinia in Dry Edible Beans: The Carrington Research Extension Center initiated two new studies in 2015 with the goal of optimizing the use of fungicides for management of Sclerotinia stem rot (white mold) in dry edible beans. Fungicide application timing was assessed, and the use of drop nozzles was tested as a means for improving fungicide coverage.

2015 Evaluation of Fertility Strategies Aimed at Enhancing Crop Production on a Hillside with Eroded Soil: Soil erosion is a common problem on slopes and hilltops. Top soil is often lost very quickly from those areas. In theory, increasing fertility of such fields would add more organic matter and carbon to the soil, improving soil properties in the long run. For this reason, different strategies were employed on a hilltop of a farm in Hurdsfield, ND.

2015 Soybean Planting Dates and Rates: Studies were established in 2014 and 2015 to evaluate the effect of a range of soybean plant populations at various planting dates. One goal was to determine when it may be appropriate to replant soybeans and when they should be left as is.

2015 The Effect of Sulfur Application on Yield and Protein of Spring Wheat: Sulfur deficiency is a growing problem for wheat and many crops in North Dakota, yet minimal studies have been conducted in recent years to provide updates on the economic impact of sulfur application to wheat. The trial was established to determine if sulfur application improves wheat yields. And if so, would wheat response depend on available S.

2015 Feedlot Beef Manure as a Source of Nitrogen for Wheat and Nitrogen Strategies to Increase Wheat Protein Content: Previous research at the Carrington REC has shown that plots fertilized with manure show similar yields to plots fertilized with commercial fertilizers, but the protein content is in general lower on the manure plots. The study objective was to assess the effects of beef feedlot manure application in combination with strategic commercial fertilizer applications to improve wheat protein content.

2015 Impact of Plant Establishment on Corn Production in Eddy, Foster and Wells Counties, 2013-15: The study’s main objective was to measure the yield response of late-emerging plants, plant doubles and plant skips compared to normally emerged and evenly spaced plants. This report summarizes highlights of the study conducted in Eddy, Foster and Wells counties using data from 10 commercial fields.

2015 The Effects of in-Furrow Application of Urea and Urea Based Slow Release Nitrogen Products on Stand Establishment and Crop Performance of Spring Wheat: A trial with spring wheat was established in Carrington which ran from 2013 to 2015. The primary goal of this trial was to test the recommendations using different N-rates and ESN:urea blending ratios.
