Brief Project Summary:

The irrigated soybean study will be designed to investigate the interactions of planting date, seeding rate, row spacing, and N management on soybean yield and yield quality at Henry J. Stumpf International Wheat Center at Grant, NE, and Panhandle Research and Extension Center at Scottsbluff, NE, in 2019 and 2020.

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

The short-term goal of this project is to get farmers to attend our field demonstrations and start re-thinking and self-evaluating aforementioned management strategies in irrigated soybean. Intermediate goal would be to encourage farmers to increase the frequency of soybeans in their crop rotation, adopt best management practices, and have better yield and yield stability in the following 2-3 year periods.
Ultimately, farmers in semiarid climates will increase soybean acreage, enhance profitability, and implement environmental stewardship practices that benefit the soybean industry as a whole (long-term goal).

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.
