Brief Project Summary:

This proposal includes two aspects of research and promotion for soil health. 1. Applied tillage research trials at three locations that incorporate four tillage treatments, and 2. Extension of the data at summer field days, winter meetings, a large December conference, and many Ag articles and created videos.

Advantages to a reduction in tillage can include improved aggregation and water infiltration, reduced soil loss and increased organic matter, biological populations in the soil and aggressive tillage can potentially increase root diseases that are favored by warmer soils. Concern about yield reductions due to cool and wet soil conditions may limit adoption of high-residue systems...

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.
