The North Dakota State University Department of Plant Sciences will host a fruit, hemp, vegetable and woody plants field day on Thursday, Sept. 5, at the NDSU Horticulture Research Farm and Arboretum near Amenia and Absaraka, North Dakota. The field day will begin at 4 p.m.

“This event will showcase some of the exciting research being conducted in our horticulture department at NDSU and give field day participants a chance to see how some of the projects we are working on might be suitable for their gardens, orchards or farms,” says Harlene Hatterman-Valenti, NDSU Department of Plant Sciences professor and field day organizer.

The field day will include presentations on caterpillar tunnel grapes, high tunnel tomatoes, apples for fresh eating and hard ciders, hydro-mulching for weed control, evaluating new brassica cultivars for yield and stress tolerance, evaluating garlic cultivars, floral hemp research, grape and juneberry breeding research, and woody plant breeding research.
