  1. Organic farming, also known as ecological farming or biological farming, is an agricultural system that uses no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, but instead uses fertilizers of organic origin such as compost manure, green manure, and bone meal and places emphasis on techniques such as crop rotation and companion planting to control disease and pests.

  2. Dragline manure application
    Author(s):

    Wheat fields are firming up across Ohio and spring topdressing with nitrogen fertilizer has started. Livestock producers and commercial manure applicators may be considering applying liquid manure as a top-dress fertilizer for wheat.

  3. This past year, with support from Ohio Corn and Wheat through the Corn Check Off, we established a pilot corn deoxynivalenol (DON) hybrid susceptibility screening trial. The objective of this project was to identify hybrids with partial genetic resistance to DON. Use these results with caution because this is our first year of data. This trial was conducted at three locations across the state that represent different production regions:  Apple Creek, Bucyrus, and South Charleston.

  4. Drone spraying corn field
    Author(s):

    Traditionally, aerial pesticide spraying worldwide has been done using conventional fixed-wing aircraft or helicopters with a pilot onboard. However, this is changing fast. Small, remotely piloted aircraft are being used to apply pesticides around the world, especially in East Asia (mainly China, Japan, and South Korea). For example, about 2,800 unmanned helicopters were registered as of March 2016 in Japan, spraying more than a third of the country’s rice fields.
