Innovative Research Projects
- Soybean Weed Management— This project evaluates soybean weed management, primarily focusing on herbicide resistant weed suppression through cover crops and different termination methods.
- Evaluating Soybean Varieties for Isoflavone Health Bioactive Components — Soybeans and soybean by-products are frequently found in human and animal diets. Soybeans contain non-nutrient compounds like isoflavones that are beneficial to health. This project seeks to improve the soybean isoflavone profile that would profit soybean producers, including developing value-added soybean varieties with high isoflavone content.
