“This annual ACPA Research Conference showcases our current graduate and undergraduate students working in agriculture in Arkansas,” said Nick Bateman, assistant professor and Extension crop entomologist for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture. “This event is the one to attend to get the latest on ways to maintain profitability in growing row crops.

“These presentations cover multiple aspects of crop, nutrient, and water management,” he said. Most of these projects are funded through checkoff dollars administered by the various promotions boards.”

The program, with titles and presenter names, is available for download.

The student competitions are sponsored by BASF, Corteva Agriscience, Gowan USA, Syngenta Crop Protection and Valent USA.
