Brief Project Summary:

Irrigation has not consistently increased soybean yields. In fact, dry land soybean yields have been equal to or exceeded irrigated yields in some cases. Because of this, soybean producers in Indiana and Michigan are looking for ways to increase their irrigated soybean yields. This is evidenced by the attendance at two educational programs focusing on increasing irrigated soybean yields. (180 participants in 2014 and 260 participants in 2015). Irrigated soybean producer groups have identified white mold and irrigation water management as the two most important factors limiting irrigated soybean yields.

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.
