Brief Project Summary:

The use of micronutrients for soybean has been proposed in recent years, particularly for high yield environments where yield responses to these nutrients may be higher. There is limited research in Kansas for soybeans under optimum yield environment. Additional research is also needed under no-till systems where availability of some nutrients from the soil may be altered, affecting yields. Increased nutrient demands from more intensive cropping practices and high-yielding potential crops may also require additional micronutrients for optimum yield. The overall objective of this study is to evaluate soybean response to secondary and micronutrient fertilizer application to maximize yields.

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.
