Grants and Contracts Details
Description
Once the 100 bu/A yield barrier was broken in yield contests, many others have attempted to repeat
this feat. To date, no one in Kentucky has done this in yield contests. In this proposal we are not
attempting to break the 100 bu/A yield barrier, rather study potential management practices or
mechanisms that are responsible for increasing soybean yield. Once these practices have been identified
they will be used in subsequent research to attempt to achieve this goal. We are proposing to use new
and novel techniques that have may increase soybean yield in irrigated systems. Specific treatments
include side dressing N, P, K and combination of these products near the row after soybean have become
well established. We also plan to increase oxygen levels in the rooting zone to see if increased oxygen
levels increase soybean yield. All treatments will be small plot in size and conducted under irrigated
conditions with no nutrient limitations.
