The focus of this project is to identify the most efficient soybean row spacing and seeding rates. Trials determine the interaction of row spacing and seeding rate for furrow-irrigated soybean production on soybean yield, quantify the effects of multiple row spacing and seeding rate combinations on soybean physiological characteristics such as plant stands, light interception and yield components, and quantify the effect of furrow irrigation on soybean water status and water use for multiple soybean row spacings.Key Benefactors: farmers, agronomists, extension agents
Economic analyses indicates that buying a narrow row or twin row planter would be economically advantageous.
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.
