Brief Project Summary:

Non-GMO soybean is an important market for Michigan farmers. One of the greatest impediments of non-GMO soybeans is good weed control. As herbicide-resistant horseweed (marestail) continues to plague farmers, researchers plan to demonstrate non-GMO weed management programs between no-till and conventional tillage soybean. The research and demonstration plots provide growers with hands-on information on effective, sustainable weed control strategies. Additionally, alternative cost-effective weed control strategies may encourage growers to use other methods to help delay the evolution of glyphosate and multiple-resistant weeds. Information generated from this research is included in fact sheets as handouts and resources for farmers.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, applicators, extension specialists

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.
