Brief Project Summary:

The focus of this research is to determine the impacts of implementing cost efficient soil health production systems throughout the Mid-South. The project determines the effect of conservation tillage, including conventional tillage, reduced tillage, zone tillage, and cover crop options like cereal rye, tillage radish or no cover crop, with conservation tillage on soybean grain yield, net return above specified costs, irrigation application efficiency and agrochemical transport.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents

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.
