Many experiments have been conducted on the improvements of row crops with fertilizer applications including NutriPak supplement.  Although crops such as corn, soybean, and cotton have been studied, there is no research for the affect of NutriPak on forage crops.  A greenhouse experiment is being conducted to observe the above- and below-ground biomass of eight forage species common to Missouri.  Results will be shared with area producers for implementation in Missouri pastures.
