Brief Project Summary:

Earlier planting in soybean in combination with genetic improvement has provided a synergistic increase in on-farm soybean yields in the Midwestern U.S. In addition, recent changes in weather patterns (e.g. early onset of spring) might allow for an earlier planting in northern states like Michigan, as well as cause delay in planting (e.g. wet spring). However,limited research has been conducted on management strategies to maximize yield as well as profitability in soybean planted at various times during the growing season. Selection of maturity group,seeding rate,and application of seed treatment are some of the management strategies that could vary based on planting time and help...

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Information from this research will be used to further develop and demonstrate recommendations for optimizing management strategies for soybean planted early vs late in the growing season. Information generated from this research will be disseminated to soybean growers through various regional extension meetings to evaluate and increase their awareness and knowledge in managing soybean planted at different times during the growing season.

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.
