Brief Project Summary:

In recent years, an increasing number of questions have come to the Department of Agronomy dealing with nodulation problems in soybeans. Usually the problems are on land that had either not been in soybeans before or had been out of soybean production for 10 years or more due to the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). In almost every case, the soybean seed had been inoculated according to standard procedures or based on seed company or inoculant supplier recommendations.
