Brief Project Summary:

With the advent of new transgenic herbicide technologies, results from this research project demonstrate to producers the importance of good stewardship in the application of auxin herbicides, as well as the importance of and methodology for cleaning spray equipment used in their application. The project intends to determine the effect of simulated drift and volatility of Dicamba and 2,4-D on soybean growth and yield, and the most sensitive soybean growth stage to these herbicides. It compares the effectiveness of various clean-out procedures for sprayers that have been used to apply these auxin herbicides.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents

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.
