Minimizing corn plant variability using a planter weight distribution system
Mark Enninga
We will evaluate individual corn plant emergence and individual plant yield in sections of the field where the weight distribution system is inactive (control) and where the weight distribution system is active (treatment).

On farm generation of nitrogen fertilizer
Pete Kennedy
The technology currently exists as a lab-scale experimental setup at UMN. The production of various nitrogen species has been proven. A variety of catalysts and process parameters (e.g.

Nitrogen dynamics and losses in artificially drainage agricultural fields
Linsday Pease
Increases in both corn production and drained acres are especially prominent in NW MN. NW MN currently lags behind the rest of the state in terms of how N cycling is impacted by these management changes due to the region’s unique combination of soils and climate.

Value-added use of corn byproducts as nanocarriers of biopesticides
Lingling Liu
According to USDOE’s report, there are around 100 million dry tons of primary crop residues every year, of which more than 75% is corn stover.

Digital Crop Doc, a digital diagnostics service for Minnesota producers
Angie Peltier
Digital Crop Doc (DCD) is a UMN Extension website on which people can supply important contextual information and up to 10 pictures of a diseased crop for which they are seeking diagnosis and management recommendations.

Investigating “living carbon” composted manure to improve nutrient mineralization (Year 2)
Gary Prescher
When used correctly, bovine manure and manure in general has always been positive for corn production. However many growers do not have access to manure or the cost and the logistics of transporting bulk manure is not practical.

Evaluating the value of a microbial (N) in corn production (Year 2)
Les Anderson
Given the attention to the use of N in corn production, N in our groundwater, and the economics of reducing fertilizer inputs,
