Brief Project Summary:

This research compares yields of different full season soybean maturity groups grown under irrigation and builds on previous work. Full-season irrigated soybeans are grown in rotation with corn and vegetables on the Eastern Shore. However, yields have been stagnant for about 25 years. Maturity group is important under irrigation. Too long of a maturity group bean under irrigation results in tall lanky plants that lodge and yield less. The project compares crop yield and degree of lodging for soybeans under irrigation.

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.
