Brief Project Summary:

Many claim the widespread use of glyphosate as the cropping herbicide choice has resulted in a number of weeds in Michigan that escape control. Implementation of other weed management strategies is generally used to manage weed escapes that have increased tolerance to glyphosate. In 2006 and 2007, the soybean checkoff researched and helped promote residual herbicides for weed control. With the recent introduction of LibertyLink, and the Roundup Ready 2 Yield seed traits, soybean producers are increasingly asking about yield, economics and weed control comparisons when using these newer technologies as compared to non GMO and the older glyphosate seed technology. Because of the different...

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.
