Crop production research lies at the heart of the mission of the Department of Agronomy at K-State. Faculty in the department conduct research on a wide range of crop production issues, at locations throughout the state. Crop production research ranges from variety testing to cropping systems; cover crops to tillage systems; and much more. The primary areas of crop production research include:
- Variety testing
- Cropping systems and crop rotations
- Tillage systems
- Cover crops
- Alternative crops
There are many specific projects within each of these research areas each year. The pages for each faculty member below go into detail on the current crop production projects in which each researcher is involved.
