Since 2008 Michigan State University has been one of six original universities participating in a United Soybean Board project evaluating various soybean agronomic practices and their effect on yield. The USB project has now been expanded to nine states. This research project analyzes isoflavone levels and fatty acid profiles in soybean grain samples collected from the USB plots evaluating agronomic practices in 16 input combinations including plant growth promoters, fungicides, insecticides, foliar fertilizers, nitrogen, and defoliants.
This study will provide valuable information on soybean quality as affected by management inputs. This type of information is currently not widely...
