Increasing commodity prices are causing producers to consider including seed or foliar fungicide and insecticides into their soybean production system. During grower meetings and personal interaction, we continue to get questioned on the yield benefit to adding these potentially expensive inputs into soybean production. There has been a fair amount of data collected in Kansas on the use of fungicides and insecticides and their impact on yield and, in general, if the pest is present these additional inputs are beneficial. The goal of this project is to evaluate fungicides and insecticides on soybean yield throughout Eastern and Southeast Kansas.
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.
