The On-Farm Network (OFN) has now established all seeding-timed trials. One dry bean seeding rate trial near MacGregor was re-seeded due to hail damage and at least five trials have been cancelled due to extreme weather events, but overall we have kept most trials.
With seeding timed trials out of the way, in-crop trials (rolling and crop inputs) are being established starting with the first herbicide passes. We have the following in-crop trials booked for the season:
Soybean
- Nitrogen, boron and potassium fertility
- Rolling timing (un-rolled vs. rolled pre-emergence and un-rolled vs. rolled post-emergence at V1)
- Biostimulant
- Fungicide application
- Herbicide timing
Pea
- Biostimulant
- Fungicide application
Dry bean
- Biostimulant
- Foliar potassium and micronutrient fertility
- Fungicide application
The OFN team is currently very busy in the field with trial data collection and field scouting.
