Inadequate fungal disease and weed control could limit value for NC #Stevia. CCP's collaboration with @ThiessenLab and @kmjennin evaluates practices for both to support the growth of stevia in NC. #naturalsweeteners. @NCAgriculture @NCExtension @NCHempIndustry

NC is fortunate to have great research expertise in sorghum production!

[ponytailag @ponytailag]

Agriculture doesn't end in the field. Liz Cooper of @uncharlotte is conducting research on sorghum in order to find the best ways to grow it effectively. #PonytailAg

The processing of the #purplecarrots was a great collaborative effort between @NCBiotech_CCP, @SinnovaTek, and Yamco. We are excited to have featured the carrots from harvest to the end puree product this week! Team Photo by S.P. Murray @NCAgriculture #foodtech #agtwitter

[NCBiotech_CCP @NCBiotech_CCP]

In collaboration with our industry partners @SinnovaTek and Yamco, the blanched #purplecarrots were processed in a puree machine and then run through @SinnovaTek's Nomatic system! @NCAgriculture @NCFarmBureau @NCExtension @NCATExtension #agtwitter #foodtech #microwaveprocesssing

[NCBiotech_CCP @NCBiotech_CCP]

Thanks to our industry partners for the #purplecarrot project, a portion of carrots from each trial location were used for processing & testing. The first step of the processing included blanching the purple carrots. #foodtech #agtwitter @NCExtension @NCAgriculture @NCFarmBureau

[NCBiotech_CCP @NCBiotech_CCP]

A part of the data collection process for our #purplecarrot trials includes removing the carrot tops & washing the carrots before weighing each replication. The video is at the @NCState_MHCREC location. #AgTwitter @NCAgriculture @ncbiotech @NCExtension @NCAgTech @NCStateCALS

[NCBiotech_CCP @NCBiotech_CCP]

The third #purplecarrot planting at @NCState_MHCREC was harvested on December 19th. This week we will feature how our purple carrot trials are tested at the field & used for processing. @NCAgriculture @NCFarmBureau @NCExtension @NCStateCALS @NCStateHort @NCAgTech @ncbiotech

We are very excited to have #purplecarrots planted at the @ncatcaes Farm in Greensboro! The overwintering trial is planted in a hoop house. The carrots are now starting to emerge, and we are excited to see them progress through the winter! @NCAgriculture @NCATExtension

@NCBiotech_CCP attended the 2019 Farm-Fish-Food Tech Symposium held in Annapolis, Maryland. The event included a panel discussion on salt water intrusion, moderator by our Executive Director, Paul Ulanch.

[NCBiotech_CCP @NCBiotech_CCP]

We are very excited to have our Waynesville, NC #purplecarrot trial location featured in the @ponytailag tour!

[ponytailag @ponytailag]

The #PonytailAg team ventured west! We chatted with Margaret Bloomquist with the N.C. State Alternative Crops & Organics program researching hops and hemp. We also learned about the research they are doing with purple carrots from Leonora Stefanile.

Thanks for all who came out to celebrate our 35th anniversary! Looking forward to many more years to come. #LifeSciNC35

[NCBiotech_CCP @NCBiotech_CCP]

Thank you to everyone who came to @ncbiotech's 35th Anniversary celebration! During the open house, @NCBiotech_CCP featured purple #carrot seeds and #purplecarrots harvested last week.

[NCBiotech_CCP @NCBiotech_CCP]

Our first #purplecarrots harvest from our Kinston, NC location occurred yesterday. The internal purple color of the carrots was very promising! Photographed is a sample of the harvested Deep Purple variety. Thank you to @BejoSeeds for providing seed for the trials!

Sarah Frank, @NCBiotech_CCP, and Nancy Johnston, of @ncbiotech's Piedmont Triad Regional Office, attended the Piedmont Triad Industrial Hemp Conference yesterday in Greensboro. Wonderful presentations & a great panel by @ncatcaes on their #industrialhemp research! @NCATExtension

Controlled environment farming is a growing area for crop research. Check out @ponytailag's video to learn more about controlled environment farming.

[ponytailag @ponytailag]

Tami Purdue of @SweetPeasUG showed #PonytailAg and Jenna Cooper around her @Cropbox1 where she grows microgreens. By utilizing controlled environment growing she is able to grow 3 tons of microgreens a year with limited space in an urban area.
