The North Dakota crop protection board is accepting grant applications from agriculture groups for two programs - one to conduct studies to maintain pesticide registrations for minor crops, and another to support the registration of new crop protection products. The application deadline is March 19th.

Why it matters

These grants provide crucial funding for agriculture groups to research and register crop protection products, which are essential for maintaining crop yields and quality, especially for smaller or specialty crop producers who may not have the resources to undertake these efforts on their own.

The details

The two grant programs offered by the North Dakota crop protection board will provide funding for agriculture groups to conduct studies to retain pesticide registrations for minor crops, as well as support the registration process for new crop protection products. This helps ensure a robust and diverse set of tools available to farmers to manage pests, weeds, and diseases that threaten their crops.

  • The grant application deadline is March 19, 2026.
