USA
January 14, 2013
The National Sunflower Association received 28 research project requests for 2013 totaling more than $540,000.
The NSA Research Committee met in early January to review proposals and make recommendations for the NSA Board of Directors.
The NSA board will then make final decisions on funding during the annual spring meeting in late February.
Projects run the gamut of insect infestation studies to studies of diseases such as Phomopsis, downy mildew, Rhizopus head rot and rust.
Additional topics include irrigation timing, glyphosate weed resistance, blackbird management, nitrogen management, double-cropping issues and plant spacing, among others.
Some of the more-unique requests this year include evaluation of sunflower meal in dairy cow diets and utilization of sunflower hulls.
