Brief Project Summary:

Pennsylvania soybean production has increased approximately 30% since 2009, when the Pennsylvania Soybean On-Farm Network conducted the first set of trials. The Pennsylvania Soybean On-Farm Network focuses on conducting field trials both on Penn State University Research Farms that is then validated on-farm using grower production practices. This two-tiered approach has been very valuable to show that the results obtained using small plot trials correlated with those on-farm, using long strips. Furthermore, current results based on Pennsylvania production practices also correlate closely with trials conducted in other states across the soybean production region.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents
