IIMPACT Agronomics operates its 47 acre research facility located near Pantego, North Carolina. The farm is composed of three different soil types providing a good range from mineral soils of 2% organic matter to organic soils with 20+% organic matter. Thirty acres are equipped with subsurface drip irrigation. Fields are set up to provide uniform soil conditions for replicated research trials.
We work primarily on the field crops of cotton, corn, soybeans, and wheat. We also have the capability to harvest snap beans mechanically. Other vegetables grow well on this farm and we have conducted research on squash, cucumbers, tomatoes and Irish potatoes.
Trial Capabilities
Efficacy Trials
IMPACT conducts product efficacy trials for herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, nematicides, seed treatments, soil and foliar applied nutrients, and other types of products including biologicals
Variety Trials
IMPACT conducts variety trials as small plot trials on our farm, or as larger strip trials in cooperation with growers. We also conduct public variety trials for corn, soybeans, and cotton with our consultant group known as Agricultural Research Consultants. These trials are conducted regionally and compared among these regions. This provides an excellent resource for farmers in making variety selections for their farming operation. Variety trials are located on our website wwwimpactagronomics.com.
Biological Inoculant and Bio-Stimulant Trials
Our focus on providing sound field research on biologicals has been steadily increasing since 2007. We studied PGRs and the early Bt products in the 80’s and 90’s and experienced the shift to a greater number of biologicals effective in agricultural production. Through both Dollar for Research beginning in 2017 and the valuable field trials with sponsors, we see the positive response of the agroecosystem supporting better plant growth and health, and meeting important needs by producing better soil health, and a more resilient crop.
Irrigation, Fertigation & Chemigation Trials
We have 30 acres equipped with sub-surface drip irrigation with over 40 separate zones for management. We have the ability and equipment to inject fertilizer or other chemicals into established drip irrigation zones in order to conduct comparison studies.
Managed Demonstration Plots
IMPACT can set up and manage product demonstration plots that are used for field days or other educational opportunities.
