Brief Project Summary:

In Oklahoma, soybeans are grown in diverse conditions and production systems, offering numerous production challenges in each region such as maintaining productivity and weed management. Understanding how management practices vary within the regions will benefit the soybean industry and improve productivity at the local level. Project objectives include determining the impact of planting date, plant population, and pre-plant weed management programs on soybean productivity and weed control; evaluating cover crops as a tool to help manage weed populations; and determining the suitability of varying soybean maturity groups and planting dates across Oklahoma soybean production regions.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, ag retailers, applicators, extension specialists
