Brief Project Summary:

Project research trials focus on high-yielding soybeans and soil health. They will help determine the best varieties for the northeast and evaluate cover cropping practices to determine their feasibility in soybean systems. Variety trials include short-season soybeans in maturity groups 000 to 2. Cover crop research investigates termination methods and residue biomass impact on soybean yield and soil health, to find practices that maximize yield, protect soil health, and minimize pest and disease pressure. It also examines the impact of interseeding timing and species selection on cover crop establishment success, soybean yield losses and soil health.

Key Benefactors:

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.
