Periodically, new products or new uses of existing products, appear on the market for soybeans and receive enough favorable publicity to generate questions from producers and suppliers about their potential profitability. It is usually difficult to answer these questions confidently and accurately, without reliable in-state test results. This extension project incorporates findings from replicated on-farm tests of new or unique foliar products that may increase soybean yields and profits. Trials seek to improve the farm level profitability of producing soybeans in North Carolina, investigate potential of these products, train county extension personnel and support NCSU’s Soybean Extension On-Farm Test and Demonstration program.
