We are able to rear and inoculate diseases and nematodes in attempt to increase likelihood of incidence, maintain a nematode infested field, spread various species of weed seeds to decrease variability within herbicide trials, and can plant bait crops for attracting insect pests.
Efficacy trials have been part of our yearly workload since 1993. We strive to conduct efficacy work in an unbiased nature using the most up-to-date practices with modern equipment and technology. This in turn gives our clients a bird’s eye view of how their products, varieties, techniques, etc. will perform in a side by side comparison of similar products.
We offer complete turn-key trial work in which we conduct the trial from start to finish, collect all data and present it in a statistical format or we can assist sponsor representatives with as much or as little as they prefer at any one of our field locations.
Our staff is proficient with Agriculture Resource Management (ARM) and attend routine training.
We have a working knowledge of the statistical reasoning and rules behind experimental design, analysis, and interpretation. This ensures that the quality of data produced is high and results are reproducible. We often offer suggestions on experimental design and plot sizes based on experience with various crops.
