Brief Project Summary:

This research project aims to improve the fertilization recommendations for soybeans. Work compares and validates fertility recommendations from different soil testing facilities and identifies optimum K fertilizer rate for new compared to old soybean varieties grown on soils low in K. It also determines the economic benefits of K fertility recommendations from different testing labs and the economic K fertility rate for soybean varieties grown in rain-fed and irrigated environments.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents

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.
