Brief Project Summary:

This project will develop a reliable estimate of the impact of deer depredation on soybean fields that will be used to develop cost-effective management practices, and information for producers to use for accurately targeting areas for damage mitigation. Efforts aim to quantify deer abundance and use of soybean fields during browsing, estimate or quantify subsequent loss of soybean yield, characterize deer habitat surrounding soybean fields to establish relationship with soybean damage and test various deer-damage mitigation techniques for potential economic benefit.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents

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.
