Brief Project Summary:

Introduction
Producers have some key decisions to make before planting soybeans, one of which is the maturity group to use when farming operations and environmental conditions allow for early planting, or prevents early planting until a later date. Delays can influence the producer's choice of seeding population, which they have to determine in order to minimize plant competition for soil water, and avoid crop water stress that is prevalent in Western North Dakota.

Completed work
This trial was conducted at Hettinger, Carrington (dryland and irrigated), Minot, and Dickinson. The Dickinson site was lost to destruction from pheasants, gofers, and drought. At Hettinger, the normal...

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Research results from this study are expected to be shared with producers in the form of:
1. Presentations at research extension meetings involving county extension agents
2. Provide mid-year and final (technical) report to the North Dakota Soybean Council (Mid-year completed)
3. Annual reports that producers have access to, at various State Research Extension Centers (2017 Carrington REC Annual Report)
4. Present research results through online media, such as the Carrington REC extension Center Point blog (To be accomplished in February, 2018)
5. To present research results at a scientific research meeting (e.g., American Society of Agronomy Annual International Meeting) in 2018

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.
