Brief Project Summary:

Indiana soybean farmers depend on herbicides (specifically glyphosate) to control the number one pest in soybeans - weeds. Effective herbicide treatments require attention to factors that influence efficacy such as product selection and rate, equipment calibration, and application timing. One factor that's routinely ignored is the quality of the water used to spray the product. Information indicating the influence of time on herbicide and hard water cations interaction is limited, outside of glyphosate. New herbicide resistant trait soybeans will become available, and tank mixes of dicamba or 2,4-D with glyphosate or glufosinate will be beneficial to growers who have glyphosate, ALS or PPO...

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.
