Brief Project Summary:

In the upper mid-west, where calcareous soils are common, Iron Deficiency Chlorosis (IDC) is an important yield-limiting factor in soybean production. IDC occurs in the interveinal tissue of young leaves when iron is unavailable to the plant. Yield loss is known to occur even if chlorosis is not evident or after plants have seemingly matured and grown through the chlorotic symptoms. This costs the growers millions of dollars each year.

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.
