This is your chance to see the eye-opening findings from a new strip-till research trial — before anyone else! As a senior research specialist under Dr. Fred Below at the Univ. of Illinois, Jared Fender launched a massive striptill trial in 2023 focusing on fertilizer placement, timing, different tillage methods, hybrid selection, fall vs. spring fertility and more.
After revealing initial takeaways at last year’s conference, Fender returns with a comprehensive breakdown of new data analysis to help optimize your own strip-till operation for 2025 and beyond.
You’ll Learn: Insights gleaned from the first full growing season of the Univ. of Illinois Crop Physiology Lab’s strip-till trial, how strip-till affects the root architecture of certain hybrids, which hybrids are best suited for striptill & how different placement methods alter nutrient availability.
