Considerable research exists that shows MN from diverse sources binds to glyphosate which acts as a chelate resulting in reduced weed control (notably velvet leaf) where soils are deficient in MN. There are water conditioners and/or water conditioners in marketed foliar MN fertilizers purported to overcome this challenge. It is not understood if all combinations work as suggested; nor whether large amounts of glyphosate added to the spray solution can overcome the activity loss; or whether the added glyphosate merely binds more MN resulting in not alleviating the MN deficiency. The project objective is to develop a greenhouse system whereby we can determine whether the foliar fertilizer...
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.
