Brief Project Summary:

This project involves providing guidelines to aerial applicators and farm managers that can be used to avoid spraying under stable atmospheric conditions that can result in temperature inversions. The funding will provide for the use of weather tower data to track atmospheric stability over a cropping season and use results to predict when a temperature inversion is likely to occur.

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.
