Brief Project Summary:

Cotton growers with failed stands resulting from dry weather, herbicide injury, hail, etc. would prefer having the option to replant soybeans. Unfortunately, many residual herbicides used in cotton have prohibitive rotation restrictions for soybeans. Little information about the effects of diuron on soybeans grown in sand or loamy sand soil types has been published. The current rotational restriction for soybeans following an application of diuron is 1 year. This study will to evaluate the effects of preemergence applications of diuron (Direx 4L) on soybean growth and yield. Data collected will include crop response (stand, height, injury) and yield.

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.
