Brief Project Summary:

Evaluate condensed tannins as a white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) repellent. This will be a field-based project. White-tailed deer use will be established in multiple soybean and cotton fields throughout North Carolina. Once baseline data are established, the treatment (condensed tannins) will be applied to sections of the field. White-tailed deer use of the field will be evaluated post treatment.

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

All results will be presented at grower meetings, field day presentations, webinars, at professional conferences, and to local producers through extension-based conferences and field events. Further, we will produce high quality videos and use electronic media updates and social media to disseminate results. Finally, results will be published as peer-reviewed manuscripts and in appropriate extension/outreach outlets.

Final Project Results

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
