Brief Project Summary:

The goal of this continuing project is to help characterize and define key soil parameters that influence soybean seed yield and economics at the landscape scale and allow for accurate prescription seed rate recommendations.

Preliminary results from 2012 showed little correlation between the soil parameters measured and seeding rates and soybean yield. Additional observations are needed to develop reliable recommendations on the use of variable seeding rates for soybeans in Wisconsin.

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.
