Brief Project Summary:

The most sustainable approach to manage weeds within a Roundup Ready crop includes the use of soil residual herbicides to maximize weed control effectiveness, soybean yield, and ultimately grower profitability. However, the variables of herbicide application rate, herbicide application timing, and herbicide combinations (applied at the same time or sequentially) can influence soybean safety and weed control. This research project will generate the necessary data to provide reliable recommendations to growers so they can realize greater benefits from the use of soil residual herbicides for weed management in 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.
