Brief Project Summary:

This project aims to determine the impacts of wet vs dry 2x2 starter, pre-plant nitrogen (N), and in-season N on soybeans. Measurements will be taken on biomass accumulation, growth and development, mineral content, N fixation, grain yield and seed quality. Another objective is to determine the effects of soybean planting date to multiple nutrient applications at different soil moisture levels. Starter fertilizer and in-season N may account for slower early-season growth or the inability to provide enough N to the seed under greater yield potentials. Finally, researchers will determine the impact of fertilizer application timings on soybean yield, biomass production, and tissue concentrations.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, applicators, extension specialists

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.
