Brief Project Summary:

A recent verbal survey of North Carolina soybean stakeholders indicated three core areas of interest for applied soybean research: using planting date to maximize soybean yield, appropriate maturity group selection based on planting date, and population adjustments across diverse planting dates. This project seeks to provide locally generated data on these priorities. Research efforts generate information on ideal planting date for soybeans and collect data to evaluate dates of insurance coverage for soybeans, identify the appropriate soybean maturity group to be used across a wide range of planting dates, determine what soybean population should be used across various planting date and soybean maturity group combinations and shares results.

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.
