Brief Project Summary:

Double-crop soybean production following a winter annual is a common production practice in Kentucky. Double-cropping soybean and a winter annual is typically profitable while maintaining a “cover crop” during winter months. To maximize yields, considerable work has been completed to identify intensive management programs for full-season soybean. Given that double-crop soybean are grown in more stressful environmental conditions, identification of intensive management programs can greatly increase double-crop soybean yields. The goal of this project is to identify management practices that will maximize double-crop soybean yields and profitability. This project will supplement a research...

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.
