Brief Project Summary:

Use of soybean for human consumption has created an expanding niche market in the US for food- grade soybean production. Management requirement of these food-grade varieties might differ from commercial soybean varieties as focus is on quality instead of quantity of production. However, limited research has been conducted on management strategies such as plant density that could improve quality while maintaining high yields in food-grade soybean varieties, especially under Michigan conditions. The overall goal of this study is to optimize planting density for various food-grade soybean varieties for improved quality, yield and profitability. Specific objectives are: 1) to determine optimum...

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.
