Brief Project Summary:

Previous research has demonstrated reasonable management levels of dandelion in a no-till corn and soybean rotation could be attained with proper application and herbicide selection. Without investigating tillage options, control could only be attained to an 85% acceptable level. At this level, dandelion can still be a problem for subsequent crops. Because of this, dandelion population dynamics need to be examined over a long time frame for sustainability of no-till production when considering control with both chemical and tillage options. This study was established in 2006 as a four year project.

Two year results indicate that dandelion populations are essentially zero in systems...

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.
