Best management practices are needed to achieve optimal crop yields. Soybean has the ability to form a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen (N)-fixing bacteria; however, it may be possible to increase yield through addition of synthetic N fertilizer. It may be possible that with a dryer environment in southwest North Dakota that the N-fixing bacteria are less productive. Objectives of this research are to evaluate yield and growth differences between four N management strategies applied to two soybean cultivars with different maturities grown at two populations. Soybean production has been increasing in southwest North Dakota recently and there are many questions on the proper management...
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.
