This project involves investigating the effect of common wheat residue management practices not only on soybean production, but also on soil quality, to ensure that these production systems have both short-term and long-term sustainability and viability. Work includes evaluating the impacts of five selected post-harvest residue management techniques on key soil quality parameters, evaluating the impact of selected wheat post-harvest residue management techniques on soybean growth and gain yield in a double crop system, and determining the optimum group selection for double crop soybean system under two common residue management practices.
