Brief Project Summary:

Regulations are pending at the EPA that will mandate larger spray droplet sizes to reduce pesticide drift. Little is understood on how these larger droplets will impact weed control for herbicides other than glyphosate. The objective of this study is to evaluate different applications parameters which affect spray droplet size on the efficacy of commonly used post emergence herbicides in soybean production. Data and video presentations from this project will be made available to Nebraska soybean growers and pesticide applicators to help them maximize weed control and soybean yield while adhering to future label restrictions.

This is a continuing project that was initiated last year....

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.
