Brief Project Summary:

The rising cost of seed, fertilizer and crop protection chemicals has increased the need for farmers to know all of the agronomic and economic benefits associated with each input decision they make. The high cost of commercial fertilizer has encouraged the use of poultry litter.

The recent increase in wheat acreage in Alabama has resulted in more double cropped soybeans that are planted behind wheat. Farmers report increased lodging of the soybeans and research on the practices is lacking.

Information And Results
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.
