Growers, industry leaders and others interested in onion production gathered together on Aug. 8 for the annual Utah Onion Summer Field Tour. Events started at the Utah State University Kaysville Research Farm with introductions and opportunities to evaluate the 2023 onion variety trial. Seed lines, including 26 entries from six companies, were on display, and company representatives had the opportunity to discuss their entries.
Attendees also viewed an onion biostimulant trial and heard preliminary findings on the impacts of humic acid and bacterial introductions on early onion growth from Utah State University master’s student Prakriti Nepal.
At the final stop of the tour, Utah State University weed scientists Eric Westra and Corey Ransom shared tips on improving late-season weed management.
