Definition
- The Northern Plains Agricultural Research Laboratory (NPARL) in Sidney, MT is one of more than 120 Agricultural Research Service (ARS) facilities. ARS is the in-house research agency for the United States Dept. of Agriculture (USDA), and conducts research to solve agricultural problems of a high national priority. The NPARL mission is to develop ecologically based strategies, technologies, and products for the sustainable management of crops and rangeland, and natural resource systems. Current research is focused on three main areas: biological control of selected noxious weeds, insect pests and fungal pathogens; the ecology and management of grasshoppers; and development of sustainable irrigated and dryland agricultural production systems. In addition to providing new knowledge, this research is catalyzing the development of improved management practices for sustainable agricultural and rangeland production systems in the Northern Great Plains.
