Brief Project Summary:

Top stresses on South Carolina soybeans included the weather, including dry weather. The project intent is to give growers information that will lend better options when planting soybeans to some of the sandy soil types, so that hopefully better yields can be made when weather conditions are at their most disruptive. It evaluates soybeans entered in the Soybean Official Variety Trials for their ability to overcome drought conditions often observed in the summer.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents, soybean breeders, seed companies
