A suite of agronomic management projects will be deployed across the region to position pennycress in the predominate corn and soybean rotation and in a range of high-valued rotational crops. We will:

• Develop regionally-based agronomic management practices for establishing pennycress in grain corn systems.
• Quantify soybean and pennycress yield trade-offs across soybean maturity group (MG) and cropping systems.
• Establish weed and pest best management strategies that support pennycress integration in corn and soybean production systems.

• Develop regionally-based agronomic management practices for establishing pennycress in grain corn systems
• Yield Trade-offs levering CRM and dessicants
• Corn Residue Management
• Novel Seed Treatment for Improve Pennycress Performance
• Quantify soybean and pennycress yield trade-offs across soybean maturity group and cropping systems
• Establish weed and pest best management strategies that support pennycress integration in corn and soybean production systems
• Tools for Integrated Weed Management
• Monitor Soybean Cyst Nematode (Heterodera Glycines, SCN) in the cropping rotation
