Drought is one of the main abiotic stresses affecting soybean yield in the USA. In North Dakota, 99% of soybeans are produced under dryland condition, and the crop is highly vulnerable to drought stress during reproductive phase of crop development. Any agronomic practices that conserve soil moisture and promote favorable physiological traits will be highly useful to get sustainable higher soybean yield under dryland condition. Soybean acreage has been steadily increasing in North Dakota including in the Northwestern part of the State, which has exceptionally drier climate than the Eastern part. There is lack of information on suitable planting geometry for this part of the State. Here,...
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.
