Brief Project Summary:

Soybean is among the most important annual crops in Minnesota. In rotation with corn, soybean not only provides well known benefits to the agroecosystem but also environmental concerns due to issues associated with low diversity. The use of cover crops is an effective strategy to diversify cropping systems. However, more information is needed to take full advantage of such approach. Preliminary analysis of our previous research indicate that cover crops have a positive effect on soybean production. While encouraging, however, it is well known that cover crops influence the balance of nitrogen (N) in the soil, consequently affecting its availability for the next crop. We propose a 2-yr study...

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.
