Information And Results
Project Deliverables

• Independent characterization and validation of a harvester equipped with NIR sensor for measuring soybean protein.
• Creation of accurate protein maps of production soybean fields.
• New understanding of how soybean protein varies across soils and landscape positions leading to agronomic practices to manage soybeans for higher protein.
• Practical knowledge of how remote sensing and other factors can predict soybean protein within and across fields.

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.
