Brief Project Summary:

Soybean varieties that incorporate the use of Roundup Ready biotechnology have become the most successful genetically altered crop to be established. But glyphosate resistant weeds have resulted in major soybean production problems.

In order to evaluate soybean cultivars that will improve Georgia soybean production, field trials that emphasize metribuzin tolerance needs to be considered. Metribuzin can provide residual weed control, help to improve yield and increase profitability. Therefore, a study comparing the most commonly used Roundup Ready soybean cultivars for metribuzin tolerance to determine the affects of soybean tolerance, yield, and net return on investment is planned....

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.
