Information And Results
Project Deliverables

1. This project will directly show the level of soybean sensitivity to micro rates of Dicamba with potential effects on yields of non-DT soybeans.
2. Our data will provide information needed for educational materials about the critical need for proper herbicide application procedures and sprayer cleaning in or to reduce dicamba's off-target movement.
3. Ultimate goal is to provide help in preventing potential drift cases and disputes among neighbors.
4. In addition, results from this study will be helpful to Nebraska legislature and law makers develop possible guidelines related to distance needed between the DT soybean and neighboring sensitive crops or acreages.

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.
