Brief Project Summary:

Biological fixation alone might not provide N at the level required to support higher soybean yields. Later applications of nitrogen can increase seed protein and may be timed better for higher yields. Irrigated systems improve the yield potential of soybeans and provide an ideal mechanism to deliver nitrogen later in the season.

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.
