Brief Project Summary:

Despite Minnesota's long tradition of artificial drainage, surprisingly little data exists on the agronomic benefits of drainage, and we understand little about the role drainage plays in pest and disease management and the maintenance of soil quality. With funding from the MSR&PC, the Minnesota Lake, MN research site was established during the summer of 2011. The 17-acre site contains 8 independently drained blocks occupying about 10 acres of the most uniform soils at this site. The fields were left fallow in 2011, plots were established in 2012 to begin the 50-50 Corn-Soybean rotation, and full-scale research was to begin in 2013. Due to the cool and extremely wet conditions in the spring...

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.
