Brief Project Summary:

Wheel traffic associated with these mid-season applications can potentially lead to decreased yields in narrow row soybeans that may not be observed in soybeans planted in wider rows, potentially decreasing the yield benefits associated with narrow row soybeans. However, wheel traffic earlier in the season could help mitigate or prevent the decreased yield caused by the wheel traffic. This is primarily because younger soybeans have greater potential and a longer time to recover from damage than soybeans in later vegetative and reproductive stages.

The information gained from this study will help growers make better equipment purchase and pesticide application decisions in the future....

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.
