St. Gabriel — This year’s annual field day at the LSU AgCenter Sugar Research Station featured a stop that highlighted several conservation practices.
Kenneth Gravois, Ag-Center sugarcane specialist, joined Brenda Tubaña, AgCenter soil scientist, and Bruno Nicchio, AgCenter postdoctoral researcher, to explain how sugarcane farmers can benefit from implementing these practices. The July 16 event drew a recordbreaking audience of more than 300 people.
The scientists’ efforts are part of a project funded by the Patrick F. Taylor Foundation Grant, an AgCenter project designed to showcase model farms operating within commercial agricultural systems, demonstrating science-based best management practices (BMPs) for grain crops and sugarcane.
