Brief Project Summary:

The objectives of this project are to identify the optimum soybean seeding rate for three planting date windows, determine the cause of soybean self-thinning, and examine the effect of soybean seeding rate and nematicide seed treatment on soybean yield and SCN population. This research identifies the agronomic and economic optimum seeding rate for three planting date windows: early, normal and late. Although many soybean seeding rate trials have been conducted, the effect of planting date on optimum seeding rate has been examined less frequently. The cause of soybean self-thinning is not well understood. These trials look at factors that influence self-thinning and final stand.

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.
