Brief Project Summary:

The objectives for this project are to evaluate plant hormones/micronutrients vital to reproduction in soybean to determine their impact on pod retention and yield and determine what application date is best for increasing pod retention and yield, evaluate 3 soybean lines for traits that could be a deer deterrent, and determine if planting a RR1 forage soybean around the perimeter of a field decreases deer damage to the field core.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents
