Conventional or non-GMO soybean continues to be grown on a significant number of acres in Michigan. Growers who produce non-GMO soybean including specialty varieties generally receive premiums of $0.75 or more per bushel. Weed control continues to be one of the greatest challenges for non-GMO soybean growers in Michigan. Key principles including starting with a clean seed bed, including residual herbicides in weed control programs, making timely post emergence herbicide applications, and realizing that certain weeds have evolved resistance to different herbicides are all key considerations needed when growing non-GMO soybean. Using these principles and information to develop effective weed...
Provide information on the effectiveness of several herbicide weed control programs specifically to non-GMO soybean producers through a web-accessible fact sheet, a field tour and at winter meetings.
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.
