Brief Project Summary:

The researchers will determine if the risk of drought and heat stress during critical phases of soybean development can be reduced by employing climate forecasts when selecting planting date and soybean maturity group. The researchers will also analyze if risk of excess moisture at harvest can be reduced using long-range climate forecasts.
