Brief Project Summary:

This research will focus the effects of auxin herbicide drift on non-tolerant soybeans. Research will investigate various phases of drift, which will include herbicide selection, nozzle selection, drift reduction agents, growth stage, and multiple exposures. Information will be used from the mesonet to help better understand weather factors that potentially might affect drift. There is potential to develop educational information to help producers understand these factors better and help in both the prediction and prevention of drift. Information will be used in extension meetings and other information outlets to assist producers in making sound decisions on the use of this technology.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, ag retailers, applicators

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Projects will be initiated during the 2019 growing season to evaluate multiple factors involving herbicide drift. Due to the nature of these studies most if not all studies will need to be conducted for at least the 2nd year to fully gather information, develop a reliable data set and provide reliable information to the industry.

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.
