Brief Project Summary:

New technologies for monitoring crop growth and development have been developed. Research by Dr. Grove has found that an active canopy normalization difference vegetative index (NDVI) sensor was sensitive to poor canopy development resulting from low plant population and predicted poorer soybean grin yields.

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.
