Brief Project Summary:

Many Pennsylvania soybean growers are interested in planting soybeans earlier. Early planting helps spread out labor and equipment usage more efficiently during the planting season and the resultant earlier harvest helps spread combine usage.

This is a continuing project that found when averaged over location, planting date and seeding rate, CruiserMaxx seed treatment resulted in better soybean stands, but soybean yield was not affected. Most of the stand loss occurred between the time of planting and emergence compared to later in the season.

The goal of the study is to develop data for Pennsylvania soybean growers on whether there is a yield advantage of planting treated soybean...

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.
