Brief Project Summary:

New herbicides are being developed that are so detrimental to non-tolerant crops that even slight drift has the potential to have great concern. Research and education can produce better spraying systems, recording equipment, and methodologies for application and use of these new herbicides. This project will address some of these concerns by evaluating current spray nozzle and technics for drift, developing a data recording and drift prediction system for trucks and performing studies on the infiltration and penetration of different droplet spectrum in the soybean canopy.

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.
