Each summer, K-State’s Extension Weed Science team evaluates a variety of herbicide programs for corn and soybeans. This year, you don’t need to wait for a field day or special invitation; the plots are open for self-guided tours at your convenience.
To visit the plots, head to the Ashland Bottoms Research Farm near Manhattan. The plots are located at the intersection of S 33rd Street and W 40th Avenue, just off McDowell Creek Road. Click here for driving directions to 39.1170, -96.6359.
At the site, look for a sign with a QR code. Scan it with your smartphone to access the plot treatment lists and trial names. You can also preview the information here before you go.
The plots will remain accessible until harvest, so feel free to stop by anytime.
