Brief Project Summary:

Soybean productivity and profitability are driven by a number of factors and tightly linked with the ability of the soil to meet crop nutrient demand. Fertilizer costs are rapidly increasing, impacting Ohio soybean producers ability to stay competitive. Therefore, soybean farmers in Ohio must manage fertilizer inputs as efficiently as possible, applying sufficient fertilizer to meet crop demand while avoiding major losses to the environment. A farmer's ability to find this optimal balance is highly reliant on the tools and information that are available to them.

This project proposes to re-evaluate the soil fertility recommendations for Ohio soybeans, focusing specifically on phosphorous...

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

This multi-disciplinary and collaborative approach will provide practical and unbiased information on economically-optimal fertilizer application rates to soybean growers in Ohio, and identify the role soil fertility plays in managing soybean pests and disease.

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.
