Information And Results
Project Deliverables

The results of this study will be developed into an extension publication as well as a research publication (Agronomy Journal) that describes the effects that row spacing, seeding rate, apical dominance treatment, and nitrogen treatment have on 1) yield components – final plant population, pods/plant, seeds/pod, seed weight, yield; and, 2) physiological/morphological traits – growth and development rates, light interception, canopy cover, and branching. The extension publication shall also describe the relative contribution of evaluated high-yield management techniques on each yield component and the research publication shall characterize the relationship between planting population, row spacing, and sunlight interception as it influences final plant population, branching, pod-set, and yield. Extension publications will be made available at county meetings, in-service trainings, and online.

The results of this study will also be presented at a professional meeting (American Society of Agronomy, dates and location TBD 2016) and extension events (for example: field days, in-service training, Dyersburg Grain Conference, producer meetings).

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.
