Brief Project Summary:

Concentrated swine production has increased the manure supply and requires more management options. Soybean is a high nitrogen (N) accumulator and a good complement to corn for management of manure N surpluses. Soybean has shown to accumulate more N with swine manure applications, and improved grain N removal rates. Project objectives include determining the differences in N uptake and grain N removal between the crops; evaluating the changes in soil N and soil fertility and the associated effects on nutrient uptake of the rotated crops and ultimately grain yield and grain N removal; and developing manure management options for hog producers while investigating nonconventional practices to increase soybean production goals and profitability.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, livestock producers, agronomists, 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.
