Caleb Karls, beef and sheep research farms supervisor, adds packets of powder to bottles of milk replacer for an early-morning feeding of “beef-on-dairy” calves at the UW-Arlington Agricultural Research Station. Some packets have placebo, and others have an experimental supplement as part of a nutritional and immunology study.

Mucilage is seen on the aerial roots of corn plants in a research field at the UW-Hancock Agricultural Research Station near Hancock, Wis. More than 150 corn hybrid varieties were inoculated with three beneficial bacteria. The study aims to evaluate the bacteria and plants’ ability to use atmospheric nitrogen, which could reduce the need for fertilizer applications.
Rubens Diogo, a postdoctoral researcher in the Jean-Michel Ané Lab, crouches to inspect corn plants in a research field at the UW-Hancock Agricultural Research Station.
