Based upon empirical evidence with the use of drought-tolerant inoculants, an increase of soybean production and yield (e.g., ca. 20-30%) can be expected under drought stress conditions. Not only will evaluating and isolating drought-tolerant inoculants provide positive effects on soybean profitability, but also aid Mid-South producers in better understanding the potential benefits for biological nitrogen fixation. Soybean farmers in the Mid-South will have experience and knowledge in the practical and optimal use of inoculants and the use of more efficient strains could improve yield. Our plan to optimize drought-tolerant rhizobia and determine the economic return will provide farmers with...
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.
