🌽 Disease Spotlight: Diplodia Rot
Something spooky lurking in your corn? 👀
Diplodia rot is one of the corn diseases NAGC can test for. Don’t let a questionable sample haunt you.
No tricks. Just answers. 🎃🔬👻
#NAGCLab#DiseaseSpotlight#Corn#CornDiseases#Diplodia
🌾Did you know NAGC can identify crop varieties? When you need to know exactly what’s in a bin, grain cart or field, variety identification can help provide that answer. NAGC offers variety identification for several crops, including wheat, barley, field pea, chickpea, and durum.

👋Meet the Team!
The testing we do at NAGC wouldn’t happen without the people behind the samples, equipment, results, and day-to-day work.
Today we’re introducing Megan O’Neil our Vice President of Operations!
#NAGCLab#MeetTheTeam
Ever wonder what happens after a sample arrives at NAGC? 🔬
There’s a lot that happens to a sample before it even begins processing. Today, we’re giving you a little behind-the-scenes look at what happens inside the lab. 🧪
