Brief Project Summary:

This research entails five separate objectives, all of which have direct relevance to Tennessee Soybean producers:
? Confirm resistance of weeds to glyphosate (or other herbicides) under greenhouse conditions.

? Evaluate off target movement of dicamba and 2, 4-D after application.

? Determine amount of herbicide residues in sprayer tubing and examine various tank-cleanout procedures.

? Compare Roundup Ready? soybean variety to conventional of similar genetic background (Allen vs. 5601T).

? Evaluate atrazine dissipation from soil to determine if soybeans can be planted in bottom ground fields that have been flooded.

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.
