Brief Project Summary:

Some soybean equipment investments may have a large impact on soybean yield. The most common question about equipment regards investing in a narrow row soybean planter, typically on 15-inch row spacing. This project seeks to provide foundational information on the equipment investments that are important in soybean production in the state. Research determines the impact of drilled versus precision planted soybeans on uniformity of soybean emergence and soybean yield and evaluates the yield impact of narrow versus wide-row, ripped soybeans in the Coastal Plain.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents

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.
