Brief Project Summary:

Site-specific crop management can provide multiple benefits to soybean producers through input savings, improved time, labor and equipment management, and environmental benefits. Simply put, site-specific crop management allows soybean producers to maximize profitability by matching crop input requirements according to site-specific yield potential rather than averaging input requirements for the whole field. Precision agriculture technologies can be used to collect the information required to evaluate production input factors, accurately predict yield potential, and precisely apply variable rates of crop inputs across the field.

Normalized yield potential analysis was used to define...

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.
