Brief Project Summary:

Conducting field studies determine optimum fertility levels for soybean and corn production in Louisiana. Research monitors plant tissue and soil samples to assess fertility effects and to refine fertilizer applications. Focus of efforts aim to determine approximate N mineralization and residue N levels following corn, demonstrate N recommendations across soil textures via on-farm demonstrations and evaluate the feasibility of using field portable x-ray fluorescence to accurately determine plant elemental concentrations in field conditions.

Key Benefactors:

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.
