Brief Project Summary:

This project involves investigating the effect of common wheat residue management practices not only on soybean production, but also on soil quality, to ensure that these production systems have both short-term and long-term sustainability and viability. Work includes evaluating the impacts of five selected post-harvest residue management techniques on key soil quality parameters, evaluating the impact of selected wheat post-harvest residue management techniques on soybean growth and gain yield in a double crop system, and determining the optimum group selection for double crop soybean system under two common residue management practices.

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.
