Brief Project Summary:

The researcher will obtain and apply data to track atmospheric stability during a cropping season; translate results into meaningful guidelines for agricultural pilots and producers to use to avoid spraying in conditions that will result in inversion-induced movement of spray; and pinpointing times of day and weather trends that can be used to spray in "safe" conditions, or conditions unfavorable for temperature inversions.

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.
