Efficacy Field Trials:
We will test your products under the best
possible conditions to encourage pest pressure and evaluate phytotoxicity on
any crops. We have access to a full range of soil types and pest
conditions.
The scope of
research ranges from suggesting set of trials on crops or pests and
developing the appropriate
protocol for the client, to client-provided, protocol driven trials.
Diamond Ag Research's primary field site is
our farm in Pawnee County with 77 acres using subsurface drip-irrigation and
62 acres under a center pivot sprinkler. The subsurface drip-irrigated land
is divided into 12 zones that can each be watered independently to achieve
differing soil moisture regimes. We also have access to additional
sprinkler and subsurface drip-irrigated sites. |
Seed Company Research and
Development:
Diamond Ag Research can grow out varieties to
test for agronomic performance and composition of plant tissue. We are
experienced with all phases of APHIS regulated trials
Diamond Ag Research can be involved with as much or as little of the day to day
