Brief Project Summary:

Higher soybean yields and the economics of inputs are the focus of this study. It these fertilizers to better quantify contributions to yield and economics of each treatment. The plots will be randomly replicated in fields with high yield potential at two early planted irrigated fields. Treatments include the promising treatments of foliar N and foliar potassium nitrate and chicken litter. Weekly tissue samples beginning at R1 and pre-plant and post-harvest soil samples provide data. The plots will be harvested for yield and an economic analysis of each input will be performed.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, Extension agents

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.
