Brief Project Summary:

Several soybean systems are available for weed management in the United States. This study will compare yields from the Roundup Ready (RR), the Roundup Ready 2 Xtend (Xtend) and the Liberty Link (LL) systems. Where possible, this study will compare genetic yield comparisons across technologies. The study will test up to five varieties from each RR, Xtend and LL soybeans. Herbicide programs that match each technology group will be used post emergence. For the RR and Xtend technologies, the glyphosate-only program will be included as well to allow us to compare genetic yield potential. Weeds will not be allowed to reduce soybean yield. Thus, the yield comparisons will examine the systems and...

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.
