baker and Binkley and Hurst had
conducted in cooperation with rep
resentatives of 10 seed companies.
Stutzman showed the difference
in apparent effectiveness of using
different pesticides, and also no
pesticides, in controlling root
worm damage.
Using a soil compaction tester,
and having dug a three-foot trench
into the field, Stutzman demon
strated the effects of compaction
and how it varies in a field. The
trench revealed the level of the
compacted hardpan, which can
form a water barrier and restrict
root growth, as a result of working
the field when it was wet.
Representatives of seed compa
nies were also on hand to talk
about their products.
