Brief Project Summary:

Many growth-promotion products tout benefits for soybean production. Proprietary combinations of fertilizers, carbon, sugars, growth regulators and other ingredients crowd the input market, as companies continue to release new products. However, limited third-party research exists to assess fit for these products in specific production systems. This research conducts trials comparing soybeans treated with several locally available growth-promoters, monitoring emergence, vegetative growth and canopy height during the season, and yield at harvest.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, Extension agents
