KARTA

The Kansas Ag Research & Technology Association (KARTA) announced late last month that they will be making up to $11,000 available for research funding in 2016. Several KARTA members have already submitted their grant applications to let us know what they will be researching this year. At the 2017 conference, researchers will give presentations explaining the results of their projects.

There is still time for you to apply for your own project or apply to join in with one of the existing projects as a group participant. Group research gives producers in different parts of the region a look at how your trials could work in their operation.

Grants are still available for group and individual projects with an additional $100 for first-time participants.

Projects & locations already lined up for 2016:

• Cover Crops (East and Northwest KS)
• Gypsum as a Soil Amendment (Central KS)
• Haney Soil Test comparison (North Central KS)
• Ascend in Winter Wheat (Northwest and South Central KS)
• Grain Sorghum Seeding Rates (Western KS and Northeast OK)
• AgBoost NutriPlant in Irrigated Corn (Northwest KS)
• Long-term Impacts of Winter Canola in Crop Rotation System (Northeast OK)
• sUAS Imagery for Leak Detection in Drip Tape Irrigation (Northwest KS)
• Comparison of Soil Sampling Methods (North Central KS)
