Timeliness of the completion of research project tasks is very important to their success. Many observations, such as maturity dates and disease ratings, must be done at a certain time. This project makes a significant contribution to the overall success of the soybean research programs at the Eastern Virginia Agricultural Research and Extension Center, but providing technical support for soybean research programs to gather time-sensitive information. The goal of this program is to assist in the development of new soybean varieties and breeding lines, testing of widely used varieties from numerous seed companies, and agronomic research on soybean cultural practices, pests (weeds, insects, disease, nematodes) and soil fertility.
