Brief Project Summary:

In recent years soybean growers have reported increasing problems with plants retaining green leaves, green stems, and/or green pods in fields of mature soybeans resulting in delayed harvest and decreased quality of harvested samples.

In other cases, seed quality reductions caused significant losses in seed value and/or rejection of truckloads at the elevator. The cause of the problem is not known and research is needed to elucidate those factors associated with this late-season soybean malady, referred to as the green plant problem.

Researchers are involved in a comprehensive study that is trying to determine...

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.
