Brief Project Summary:

Glyphosate tolerant soybean (GTS) technology is a valuable asset for soybean farmers because it reduces the use of other herbicides, is a critical weed control tool for reduced tillage systems, and is generally regarded as having low environmental impacts. However, after applying this technology for up to 10 years, observations in farmers' fields and emerging research suggest that long-term glyphosate usage is having cumulative and non-target effects on soils and crop productivity.

In recent years there has been research confirmation of MN deficiency in glyphosate tolerant crops and now a growing incidence of potassium (K) deficiency in corn when grown in rotation with GTSs in the...

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.
