Brief Project Summary:

This research builds knowledge about the effect of new herbicide technologies on herbicide-resistant weeds, and how these new technologies will affect the soil microbial population that is an integral and invaluable component of soil-plant interactions. The project aims to determine the efficacy of new 2,4-D and dicamba formulations alone and in combination with other herbicide modes-of-action on herbicide-resistant weeds. It also determines the impact of those herbicides and combinations on soil microbial populations involved in nutrient cycling.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents

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.
