Located on llinois Natural History Survey Land in Champaign, the Windsor Organic Research Trial (WORT) is a farming systems experiment initiated in 2003 to investigate the organic transition process and alternative strategies for transitioning to certified organic vegetable production.
With ongoing advice from an advisory board of Illinois producers, researchers from the Illinois Natural History Survey and the University of Illinois are investigating the influence of transition strategies that differ in management intensity and organic matter inputs on weed populations, soil organic matter and fertility, soil invertebrates, and the relationship between soil fertility, plant health and insect/disease pressure.
