Planning Unit: Clinton County CES

Major Program: Grains

Plan of Work: Livestock, Poultry, & Crops

Outcome: Initial Outcome

ThGrain producers are continually faced with decisions of new products that are marketed to increase bushels per acre or lower input costs per acre etc.  In 2022 a grain producer contacted the Clinton Co ANR Agent to inquire about setting up a trial with a product that is marketed as reducing the amount of commercial Nitrogen needed for the corn crop.  In collaboration with the Cumberland Co ANR Agent a demonstration trial was setup with four replications 2 treated replications of the microbial biological product to enhance Nitrogen available to the corn crop and 2 replications without no treatment applied.  The agents will collect tissue samples throughout the growing season and will harvest the plots in the fall with the producer to determine if the product has increased bushels per acre as compared to the untreated plots.
