Project Name : NCDA&CS Upper Coastal Plain Agricultural Research Station
Description : The research programs at the Upper Coastal Plain Research Station in North Carolina encompass peanut, tobacco, cotton, corn, and soybean crops, focusing on improving yield, disease and pest resistance, and developing sustainable cultural and weed management practices. The region's climate challenges include high pest pressures, soil-borne diseases, and weather variability that impact crop health and productivity. The infrastructure supporting this research includes research plots, facilities for evaluating fungicides and herbicides, breeding nurseries, variety testing sites, and specialized equipment for crop management and disease control studies, all closely integrated with regional farming needs.
