Brief Project Summary:

Objectives for this project include: determing agronomic and physiological factors preventing soybean yields beyond 70 bushels/acre with emphasis on comparing standard and high oleic varieties, seed inoculant, late-season nitrogen, and irrigation; evaluating rhizobium strains for nitrogen fixation efficiency, to provide adequate nitrogen levels, and the interaction of the rhizobium efficiency with crop management practices; developing time-efficient unmanned aerial systems crop scouting tool to use with smart phones to determine if the soybean crop has yield potential beyond 70 bushels/acre, if the rhizobium will supply enough nitrogen to support the yield increase, and if additional nitrogen is needed to support 70+ bushel/acre.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, ag retails, applicators

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.
