The Yield Challenge seeks to discover the management practices and environmental conditions that enable the production of higher soybean yields and to promote sustainable high yields in Illinois. In addition, the Challenge seeks to recognize top soybean producers as well as the highest achievable soybean yields across nine districts and four universities in Illinois. Keys to success in attaining and sustaining higher yields across the state include variety selection, suitable choice and application of management products, routine crop scouting, successful disease and pest management, comprehensive management records, and statewide teamwork.
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.
