Information And Results
Project Deliverables

1. Rotational partners influence on soybean yield stability in the Mid-South is determined by the end of FY2017 and documented through published manuscripts, extension materials, and meeting presentations.
2. The influence of various soybean rotational partners on economic stability in the Mid-South is determined during FY2017 and documented through publications and extension materials
3. Complete observations of crop development, weather data, management history, yield, and shifting pest pressures for all locations for the 6-year study are provided as supplementary material to the published manuscripts.
4. The economic risk assessment of achieving various yield levels for different soybean rotational partners is defined at representative sites using long-term weather data, trial yields, and commodity input tracking.
5. Farmer-friendly summary of the project is prepared by the end of FY 2017 that can serve as a decision-making guide for soybean rotation partner selection for the mid-south and for a particular location based on agronomic and economic information obtained from the trial.

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.
