Brief Project Summary:

In recent years, soybean growers have begun planting more acres of soybean on high clay content soils in NY. The clay soils tend to be wetter during spring planting and crop emergence. These conditions lead to environmental stresses than can compromise soybean yields. While high clay content soils can lead to planting and emergence problems, once established, soybeans perform reasonably well. Soybean growers are still searching for agronomic practices that can improve yields of soybeans grown on the challenging soils.

The use of soybean seed treatments has increased considerably over the past few years. Some seed treatments on the market today can protect seed form seedling diseases,...

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.
