NDSU crop variety trials are a useful tool, offering farmers and crop consultants an unbiased source of information as they compare crop varieties and make seed selections for their farm or clients. Online files are uploaded daily as trials are harvested, samples progress through our labs, and data are analyzed. Along with traditional specifications like yield, test weight, straw strength and stem height, notes based on disease resistance have become more prevalent for many crops.
To supplement the online tools, comprehensive Extension publications are published and printed for each crop after the last test site is complete.
NDSU maintains two variety trial websites. Both sites offer a more robust experience on a desktop, but the same functionality exists on a mobile device (but the selection toolbars may be stacked above-below instead of left-center-right).
