THE 4R WHOLE SYSTEM MANAGEMENT APPROACH requires finding the right nutrient sources, rates, timing and method of application for your individual farm. An on-farm research project can help to evaluate new practices, allowing you to identify site-specific management strategies that provide the greatest benefits to your operation.
On January 15, from 1-4pm, the Delaware-Maryland 4R Alliance will host an On-Farm Research and ROI Session at Delaware Ag Week. The program includes:
- Tips, Tricks, Trials and Tribulations of On-Farm Research
