Brief Project Summary:

Site-specific crop management can provide multiple benefits to soybean producers through input savings, improved time, labor and equipment management, and environmental benefits. This project advances use of precision agriculture technologies by determining the types of geospatial data best suited for defining management zones in Tennessee production fields, data analysis protocols for defining management zones and realistic yield potentials, and the prescribed inputs (i.e. fertilizer, seeding rates, and chemicals) best suited for variable-rate application in soybean production fields.

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.
