Summer 2021

A primary goal of LSU AgCenter research is to help farmers grow food and fiber more efficiently while protecting the environment. Two examples of this are in the Louisiana Agriculture summer issue in which scientists explore ways to take advantage of the beneficial microorganisms in the soil to enhance crop production. Other topics covered include landscape Super Plants, industrial hemp and innovative ways educators helped people learn during the pandemic.

Spring 2021

Higher yielding crop varieties with superior performance and quality attributes are foundational to the continued success of Louisiana agriculture. The spring 2021 issue of Louisiana Agriculture tells the story of the intense, sustained effort by LSU AgCenter scientists to develop new crop varieties that resist disease and pests, adapt to the environment and produce greater amounts of food, fiber and fuel to meet the needs of our planet.

Winter 2021

The pandemic has caused many of the educational programs offered by the LSU AgCenter to go virtual. But this also triggered an expansion in the reach of these programs. Read more about these opportunities along with articles on crop variety testing, herbicide use with sweet potatoes and breeding disease resistance into rice in the winter 2021 issue.

Fall 2020

The centuries-old practice of using cover crops to protect the soil in between harvest and planting is being re-examined with modern-day scientific tools to see what benefits it can offer for protection of our environment and the sustainability of agriculture. LSU AgCenter scientists are on the front lines of this research, and the fall 2020 issue of Louisiana Agriculture magazine is a compilation of the results they are finding so far.
