Brief Project Summary:

Objectives of this research are to evaluate yield and growth differences between five nitrogen management strategies applied to two soybean cultivars with different maturities grown at two seeding populations. Research results will increase the knowledge base of soybean practices in southwest North Dakota. Researchers will evaluate growth and yield differences among the treatments, observe root nodule formation, and calculate the economic outcome of the different nitrogen management strategies.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension specialists

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

1. Evaluate growth and yield differences among treatments
-Observe root nodule formation across treatments
-Use visual scores and plant measurements to better understand soybean growth in relation to harvested yield
-Calculate the economic outcome of using different management strategies
2. Increase the knowledge base of soybean practices in southwest North Dakota
-Create a bulletin on soybean production in southwest North Dakota
-Host workshops to present data and answer production questions
-Host in-service training to county extension agents
-Use social media and other media outlets to distribute information to growers and the general public

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.
