Since 2005 we have performed research on multiple crops in Michigan. Those crops include Potatoes, Soybeans, Corn, Sugar Beets, Tomatoes, Wheat, Cucumber, and Pepper.(more information on diseases and nematodes below). We also run soil/root samples for nematodes at our in-house laboratory and consult on potato crops throughout Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina and Ohio.(see map below)

In 2020 we started our North Carolina research site, focusing primarily on potato trials, and growing into other crops such as: Sweet potatoes, Wheat, Corn, Soybean, Peanuts and Cotton in the future.
