This project will continue the effort to determine the management and environmental limitations to yield, protein and oil accumulation in Minnesota soybeans. The results will be used to develop management and breeding strategies that can be developed to overcome these limitations. This project will include modeling interplant distance affects on soybean branching and pod height and evaluate interacting environmental factors such as ambient temperature, soil moisture, residue type and quantity, to determine whether existing seeding rate recommendations are sufficient to reduce harvest loss due to pod height. The researchers will evaluate soybeans across geographies and maturity groups...
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.
