Brief Project Summary:

Soil applied synthetic chelates are the most efficient and common approach to take to prevent iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC). The two major problems with chelates are the expense of the product limits the amount that can be economically applied to an amount that is not always effective in preventing IDC symptoms. Another problem with Fe-FDDHA is that it freely moves in water in the soil and its effectiveness is diminished by heavy rains, precisely when IDC is most severe.

This project is an extension of other research at NDSU that developed iron chelate polymers that were less water soluble and more reactive with soil particles. The project aims to design, develop and test new...

Information And Results
Final Project Results

In 2012, one-hundred and eighty new Roundup Ready experimental lines are being tested for the first time in replicated yield trial plots in 2012. Sufficient numbers of crosses were developed to provide about 10,000 Roundup Ready plant-rows each year, starting in 2013. From these plant-rows, the best rows will be harvested to develop new experimental lines for yield testing each year.

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.
