Brief Project Summary:

With the construction of a malting facility, double crop soybean acres are expected to increase. Winter malting barley is harvested about two weeks earlier than winter wheat. The premiums offered for high-quality malting barley grain coupled with double crop soybeans will be a profitable system. However, soybeans planted later require different management. This research provides recommendations for soybeans in this system. Objectives aim to develop double crop soybean recommendations following winter malting barley including fungicide seed treatment, insecticide seed treatment, foliar fungicide at R3, foliar insecticide at R3, and foliar insecticide at R5 and evaluate the effect of winter malting barley biomass and residual nitrogen on double crop soybean stand and yield.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

This research will support agronomic improvements of soybean production to maximize soybean yield and economic return, but also minimize environmental impact. One of the most challenging economic decisions for soybean farmers is what inputs to apply and when.
This research will increase environmental stewardship of pesticides by using them when the situation warrants application.

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.
