Brief Project Summary:

The climate and crop mix in Georgia allows a variety of soybean production system options. The Early Soybean Production system has grown in popularity in Georgia. This project will evaluate large plots in this system in multiple locations, evaluating varieties for agronomic characteristics and yield. The Ultra-Late Soybean Production system is unique, double-cropping soybeans behind corn harvested in July or August. Trials assess the impact of tillage in this system. The extreme sensitivity of soybeans to dicamba is well documented. With the release of dicamba tolerant cotton and soybean varieties, trials will also evaluate possible management strategies to help mitigate the negative yield effect of dicamba drift on soybeans.

Project Deliverables

Soybean Production Guide
The 2019 Extension soybean production guide will be updated, printed, and distributed through the UGA County 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.
