Brief Project Summary:

Federal and international approvals for the Roundup Ready 2 Xtend (Xtend) soybean have allowed in numerous companies to begin selling these varieties this season. Farmers are interested in how these varieties compare with Roundup Ready and/or Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans. We intend to investigate the overall system to assess the agronomic performance of the systems. In addition, we will try to assess the genetic effect on relative yield. The objective of this project is to evaluate relative yield of RR soybean and Xtend soybean in their respective weed management systems.
