Brief Project Summary:

Irrigation and water management are critical to obtaining high soybean yields. This project will develop production management information that can be used to apply up to 25% less irrigation water. Efforts intend to determine optimum physiological period for initiating irrigation, critical physiological period for terminating irrigation and growth stage(s) when deficit irrigation adversely affects yield and profitability.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents

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.
