Variety Trials and Production Guidelines
Each year the LSU AgCenter tests commercial corn, soybean, sorghum, and wheat and oat entered in the state yield trials by private seed companies. From these, a grower should choose several adapted to an individual farm. This information should help you make these important decisions.

Resources for Crop Production

Bioenergy and Bioproducts
The LSU AgCenter is engaged in a broad array of bioenergy/biofuels research and extension.
Conservation
Resource saving techniques used to preserve natural resources while optimizing crop yields.
Cover Crops
Plants are used to help prevent erosion or keep the soil “covered” and have many biological and soil health benefits.
Irrigation
Research and extension activities related to LSU AgCenter irrigation water management.
Master Farmer
The Louisiana Master Farmer Program focuses on helping agricultural producers.
Precision Agriculture
The LSU AgCenter shows producers how to use Precision Agriculture to increase efficiency.
Soil Fertility
Developing fertilizer recommendations for crop production and diagnostic tools for nutritional deficiency.
Technology
Scientists are finding ways to make farming more efficient by using high-tech computer programs.
