Brief Project Summary:

The 2019 growing season brought many challenges to soybean growers in Michigan and the upper Midwestern US. Record rainfall early in the season resulted in saturated fields and unprecedented planting delays and a lot of acres planted in mid to late June. Sub-optimal weather during the growing season also impacted growth and development of crops. These issues caused a lot of concern among growers and raised questions about soybean planting timings, maturity selection, native rhizobial populations and N fixation, nutrient deficiencies, and impacts of various environmental conditions on soybean development, yield, and overall profitability. This project is designed to answer some of these...

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Information generated from this research will be used to develop and demonstrate recommendations for optimizing soybean production across Michigan environments. Results will be disseminated to growers and stakeholders in Michigan through extension presentations at regional and winter extension meetings, summer field tours, and webinars. Newsletter articles and factsheets generated from research findings will be posted on Cropping Systems Agronomy website (https://www.canr.msu.edu/agronomy/) and MSU Extension News Field Crop Production webpage (http://msue.anr.msu.edu/topic/info/field_crops) and shared through social media. Research findings will also be presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Agronomy and published as peer-reviewed articles with other participating collaborators. A final report will be provided to MSPC at the completion of research.

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.
