Kansas River Valley Experiment Field

Kansas Corn is proud to partner with Kansas State University Department of Plant Pathology on on-farm research that supports practical, producer-driven solutions for Kansas corn growers. This experiment field plays an important role in advancing unbiased, real-world data that benefits farmers across the state.

On Farm Trial

For farmers, the bottom line is simple: Will it work, and will it pay? These on-farm trials are designed to answer practical questions about products and management decisions Kansas corn growers make every season. By testing fungicide timing, hybrids, plant populations, biological products and disease management strategies under real-world conditions, Kansas Corn and its research partners can provide unbiased data farmers can use when making decisions on their own operations.
