Brief Project Summary:

Increased biomass production is the major driving force leading to greater nutrient accumulation within the plant. Dr. Steinke has documented similar biomass production (lb/A) from seeding rates as low as 50,000 seeds per acre up through 170,000 seeds per acre. Additional recent research from Illinois and Wisconsin has highlighted the importance of season-long nutrient accumulation as grain tissues remobilized a majority percentage of N, P, Cu, and S to developing seed during grain fill. Much of the late-season nutrient uptake and partitioning to grain comes from the soil, emphasizing the importance of sufficient soil nutrient resources in the later reproductive growth stages to prevent...

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.
