Brief Project Summary:

Improved management at the farm level can increase soybean yield. A high-yield project funded by ISA between 2004 and 2006 documented that opportunities existed for increasing yield through earlier planting, narrower row spacing, and critical variety selection, specifically for resistance to soybean cyst nematode. However, there was concern expressed among growers that consistent yield improvement was not being achieved even though recommended practices were being followed. This project was undertaken to explore the potential interactions that exist among planting date, row spacing, and variety selection to identify potential reasons why optimal practices did not always result in the desired...

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.
