Brief Project Summary:

Currently there is no published University data that supports industry claims that the soybean yield plateau can be overcome solely through intensive high-input management and/or adoption of new yield/input responsive traits (i.e. RR2Y soybean). Given the projected pipeline in soybean for multiple new traits (DHT Dow Herbicide Tolerance 2,4-D resistance and dicamba-resistant soybean) and input releases (novel foliar and seed treatment fungicides, nematicide, insecticide active ingredients and new biological compounds), it is critical that we begin to quantify the complex interactions between traits and inputs and determine what role they play in overcoming the soybean yield plateau.

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.
