Brief Project Summary:

Soybean production in Mississippi has made significant increases over the last several years. The most significant change has been the shift from late-planted maturity group V soybeans to early-planted maturity group IV soybeans. In conjunction with this shift, there has been a significant increase in soybean yields over the past ten years. However, soybeans have become a high-value crop in Mississippi, and losses associated with insects may pose an unneeded threat to yield and profits. Many of the soybean insect management options and thresholds were developed over 20 years ago on late planted, maturity group V soybean varieties. Little data exists over the last 10-20 years on the...

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.
