RESEARCH TRIAL TYPES
Product Efficacy
Herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, fertilizers and biological growth 
regulators are among the various types of crop protection and crop enhancing products we test. Our locations offer natural insect, weed, and disease pressure that is native to Nebraska and we are able to fit site-specific trial requirements. We also provide large areas for product demonstrations, where new products can be showcased to prospective growers or provide agronomic training to sales staff.
Biotechnology
Since the introduction of genetically modified crops, Midwest Research has worked alongside industry to generate unbiased data. We specialize in corn and soybeans and have many years of experience with this type of work. Our employees attend annual trainings to continue to meet government & industry standards and regulations.
Chemical Residue
As an integral part in the approval of a pesticide product and bringing it to market, 
chemical residue trials allow for laboratories to test the amount of pesticide left in the soil or crop after an application. We conduct a range of studies including but not limited to: Harvest RAC, Decline, Processing, Dissipation, Pollinator, DFR, Volatility and Rotational. We can handle all field related activities up to the shipment of the samples to their respective labs. All residue trials are conducted in accordance with the latest guidelines for Good Laboratory Practices (EPA-FIFRA GLP Standards 40 CFR, Part 160).

Aerial imaging, custom plot planting or harvest, large-scale research projects, and insect collection are some of the unique projects done at Midwest Research. New ideas & projects are welcome, contact us to see if we can put your plan into action.
