Organic Field Crop Production and Marketing in North Carolina

The North Carolina State University organic grains program continues to conduct numerous experiments in an overall research program aimed at meeting the needs of North Carolina organic grain producers. Organic weed management is a major challenge for organic soybean producers and constitutes a significant aspect of the research program. The research program also investigates: improved crop rotations for organic producers, use of cover crops for nitrogen needs, no till organic production and long term crop breeding for organic producers.
