NCSRP: Delivering research and information

The North Central Soybean Research Program (NCSRP) enables the country’s top university scientists to mobilize quickly to solve the biggest soybean production and management problems. When NCSRP’s proactive producer board spots an emerging soybean disease or insect problem, it moves fast to marshal the right forces and focus on a solution.

NCSRP also communicates and coordinates with scientists to prioritize research needs, makes sure there’s no duplication of effort, and quickly notifies you of any new research discoveries or updates.

That’s the NCSRP’s other job – making sure you can access the latest multi-state research and production information – helping you manage soybeans from the ground up. This information is provided through the NCSRP’s education and outreach arm, including this Plant Health Initiative website.

NCSRP invests about $2.8 million annually.
