Brief Project Summary:

This research project plans to determine the effect of cover crops and tillage alone and combined with each other on irrigation efficiency, soil properties, runoff, and soybean yield and economic return. These efforts will support development of best management practices for using a combination of cover crops and tillage systems under irrigation.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Development of BMP’s for using a combination of cover crops and tillage system in irrigated
soybean production systems.

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.
